ALL OF US

I sat in a courtroom -
A youth accused was seated there
And so was the prosecutor


Then Mary came to the tomb
And there were angels there
But no prosecutor


For the one who had condemned
Was still asleep
As the garden awoke


Whom do you seek, they said
For the tomb is empty
And she turned away


And in that turning
She saw One who was alive
And it was He


And as she worshiped Him
But did not touch His flesh
I looked within the tomb


And there was the courtroom
And the youth
And all of us
