Morning Breaks

Track #5 on the CD Join The Chorus

On Easter morning, 2006, I checked my email and found that the Christian Quote Of The Day was this poem by William Bengo Collyer - Morning Breaks Upon The Tomb.

My immediate response was to sit down with my guitar and write some music to go with it. Since the passing of our friend Tommy in September of that year, I have found great consolation in these words.

Listen to a short audio clip

Morning Breaks Upon The Tomb
Morning breaks upon the tomb,
Jesus scatters all its gloom.
Day of triumph through the skies--
See the glorious Savior rise.

Christians! Dry your flowing tears,
Chase those unbelieving fears;
Look on his deserted grave,
Doubt no more his power to save.

Ye who are of death afraid,
Triumph in the scattered shade:
Drive your anxious cares away,
See the place where Jesus lay.

For He is risen, Jesus lives!
He is risen, Jesus lives!
He is risen, Jesus lives!
Jesus is alive!
