The Night Before Easter
by Gaither Vocal Band

Album: Sometimes It Takes a Mountain

The night was so different from all the rest,
and a silence covers the earth.
The stars have no glimmer,
the moon tries to hide for in death lies the man of their birth.

In a room filled with sorrow,
a mother cries for Jesus,
her Son now is gone.
Her child sent from Heaven was taken away,
heartbroken she feels all alone.

At the feet of His mother,
a little boy cries, saying "momma I don't under understand"
I remember the look of love in His eyes,
that I saw when He touched my hand.

The King of all ages, the Giver of life,
for a moment lies silent & still,
a power from Heaven comes breaking through
the night & death must bow to His will.

Then a stone moves,
the earth shakes & birds starts singing,
the sun shines, the earth warms.
For new life its bringing, and the little boy stops crying,
a mother is smiling, for death could not hold their King.

Then a stone moves,
the earth shakes & birds starts singing,
the sun shines, the earth warms.
For new life its bringing & the little boy stops crying,
a mother is smiling, for death could not hold their King.
For death could not hold their King
