Story behind the song
I wrote this song on Holy Saturday, 2005, as I waited for the Easter vigil. The folk group sang it the next day.
Lyrics
Here I am Lord, here to start my vigil with the day But somebody has rolled the stone away The gardener has asked me why I cry This man is saying, "Mary, it is I!" Now I know without you I am wrong Now I know without you I am straw Without you, I can do nothing Alleluia is my cry Alleluia til I die Now I know its my life you saved Love itself is risen from the grave (x2) Here we are Lord, trying to understand what you have done This woman here has said that you are gone Now we have you standing in our room Showing us your bruises and your wounds Now I know without you I am wrong Now I know that with you I am strong Without you, I can do nothing Alleluia is my cry Alleluia til I die Now I know its my life you saved Love itself is risen from the grave (x2) Here I am Lord, listening to what the others say But I can't let all my hope run away Now you're asking me to touch and see Blessed are the ones who can believe Now I know without you I am wrong Now I know that with you I am strong Without you, I can do nothing Alleluia is my cry Alleluia til I die Now I know its my life you saved Love itself is risen from the grave (x4)
