The
story of Easter unfolds in this gorgeous Joel Raney ballad that begins quietly
at the tomb when the angel asks, “Why are you crying; why do you weep?” then
builds with intensity and emotion as the stone is rolled away and the choir
sings “open your eyes and see, open your heart and know Jesus is risen, he is
alive!” A hint of “In the Garden” is cleverly woven into the music, making this
an ideal Easter morning ballad. The violin part is included and effectively
adds to the drama.
