Then Came The Morning Lyrics
Words and Music by: Gloria Gaither, William J. Gaither, Chris Christian
"Bill Gaither told me that he was going to record this on the Vocal Band if we didn't record it, and that's all the incentive I needed. This Gaither song is indeed timeless. When we sing it live, it shuts the show down...praise and worship breaks out! The response is like nothing I've ever seen in our concerts." - (Ernie Haase)
Verse:
They all walked away
Nothing to say
They just lost their dearest friend
All that they said
Now he was dead
So this was the way it would end
The dreams the had dreamed
Were not what they seemed
Now he was dead and gone
The garden, the jail,
The hammer, the nail
How could a night be so long.
Verse:
The angel the star
The kings from afar
The wedding, the water, the wine
Now it was done, they taken her son
Wasted before His time
They knew it was true
They watched him die too
They heard them call Him just a man
But deep in her heart
She knew from the start
Somehow her son would live again
Chorus:
Then came the morning
Night turned into day
The stone was rolled away
Hope rose with the dawn
Then came the morning
Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won
For morning had come
(Morning has broken, like the first morning)
