It Is the Lord! Lyrics

Slowly the light unfolding,
Softly the dawn approaching
Anxious frightened souls
Seeking hope, seeking hope.

Stumbling through sad desolation.
Wondering with frightened confusion
Towards a dark gaping tomb
A buried hope

Gently, an awareness of a loving presence
His words, Do not be afraid
His message, Peace be with you!
Rabbi! Remember, it is the Lord!

At the tempest and the storm,
In the kindnesses that keep us warm,
Even through the pains and betrayals
Of life's crucifixion.

Rejoice, dear souls!
For peace, it is the Lord.
Soothe, it is the Lord,
It is the Lord, now and forever,
Amen.
