The Young Man - Robin Mark
All on a Friday evening as the sun went down
The body of a man who wore a thorn made crown
Was carried to a graveyard in the fading light
And laid with deep affection in a garden
Up on the hill the shadow of his gallows fell
And faded as the sun descended lower still
The ground was worn and bare
Where many feet had trod
To watch the execution of the young man
And what of me so distant from that far gone place
Still the wonder of that moment crosses time and space
With mystery and majesty none can explain
For it draws me to the story of the young man
The next day being Sabbath was a day of rest
And one of some reflection for the young man's friends
No longer messianic zeal consumed their hearts
Just sorrow for the killing of the young man
And I suppose some tears were shed 'til sleep
Came last
Then rising early morning once the Sabbath passed
A woman made her way to find the garden tomb
To leave some oil and flowers for the young man
And what of me so distant from that far gone place
Still the wonder of that moment crosses time and space
With mystery and majesty none can explain
For it draws me to the story of the young man
Now history tells of heavy stone to bar the way
Was fixed by many soldiers on the open grave
For when she found it rolled aside and emptied tomb
She grieved the stolen body of the young man
A gardener called her by her name as she kneeled down
And asked her why she searched about the burial ground
And wiping bitter tears away with the dawns first light
She saw the risen glory of the young man
And what of me so distant from that far gone place
Still the wonder of that moment crosses time and space
With mystery and majesty none can explain
For it draws me to the story of the young man
