I used Who Will Roll Away The Stone by Ordinary Time as a prelude to the sunrise Easter service at 6.30am this morning.
Mark’s Gospel was thematically woven through the service.
This song picks up elements of Luke’s account.

The lyrics:
Early in the morning, the sun already risen
Three women came bearing spices,
the Lord’s body to anoint
Standing at the tomb,
they asked each other saying

“Who will roll away the stone?” (X4)

Looking up they realized,
the stone had been removed
And to their amazement,
a young man sat before them
“Do not be amazed,”
he said, “for Jesus the Nazarene
He who has been crucified,
here you will not find

He has risen from the grave”
early on the first day (X4)

You’ll find him on the road
You’ll find him at your table (X2)

“He has risen from the dead”
(early on the first day)
