about

lyrics by Elise Massa & Stacey Regan, music by Elise Massa

Collect for Holy Saturday: O God, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath, so we may await with him the coming of the third day, and rise with him to newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (The Book of Common Prayer, 2019)

lyrics

Hope is now interred in a hollow cave
You are left for dead; I am left afraid.
All your promises hold a hollow sound,
fade with evening's light, thick shadows on the ground

Refrain:
Lord, are you awake? I can hardly breathe,
clinging to a grave, desperate to believe.
You said to abide, yet you're the one who left.
Hope is now interred.
Lord, what happens next?

Was it all a dream to believe you love
covering my sins somehow was enough?
How I fled the scene! To whom shall I go,
paralyzed by fear, estranged from all I know? (Refrain)

Numbering my days as I count the sheep,
huddled in a room, too terrified to sleep.
Have I played the fool all along the way?
I still hear your voice: "O ye of little faith." (Refrain)
