THE ONLY ROAD TO EASTER MORNING
Music by John Carter, Words by Mary Beall
To hear the publisher's recording of this anthem, click hereThe only road to Easter morning
Is in the shadow of the cross.
The lonely road to Easter morning
Is paved with misery and loss.The only road to resurrection
Will pass a hill called Calvary.
The lonely road to resurrection
Is dark as any road can be.The only road to Alleluia
Is through a cry of grief and pain.
The lonely road to Alleluia
Is through the song of death's refrain.The only road to Easter morning
Is through an empty upper room.
The lonely road to Easter morning
Comes to an end before a tomb.
