Dead Men Don’t Rise
My latest song, written today, April 1, for our Easter program….
Dead Men Don’t Rise
early in the mornin’
they come into the garden
nothin but some women
who don’t expect the livin
don’t call me gullible
it don’t take no science to see
dead men don’t rise dead men don’t rise
you say you’re sensible
with wisdom of your century
I know what I’ve seen with my eyes
dead men don’t rise
dead men don’t rise
I’ve stood at the gravesides
of beloved faces
I know well what death is
I don’t expect them livin
and I stood on the hillside
a few short days ago
if anyone has looked into death’s eyes
brother, I should know
and dead men don’t rise
so don’t call me gullible
it don’t take no science to see
dead men don’t rise dead men don’t rise
you say you’re sensible
with wisdom of your century
I know what I’ve seen with my eyes
dead men don’t rise
dead men don’t rise
early in the mornin
Mary comes into the garden
and what does she see with her eyes
ah, but dead men don’t rise….
don’t call me gullible
it don’t take no science to see
dead men don’t rise dead men don’t rise
you say you’re sensible
with wisdom of your century
I know what I’ve seen with my eyes:
Christ is alive
