Lyrics:
“Who Are You Looking For?”
TERRA BEATA 6.6.8.6 D (“This Is My Father’s World”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2022
Music: John Goss, 1869
Who are you looking for?
A body in the tomb?
The grave is death but God has breath
The Spirit’s wings need room
Who are you looking for?
He is not here but raised
The empty tomb is now a womb
Christ lives! Let God be praised!
Who are you looking for?
The man of Galilee?
He is not here but always near
Lift up your head and see
Who are you looking for?
Your rabbi and your friend
Is God in flesh who conquered death
Whose reign is without end
Who are you looking for?
An answer to pin down?
We cannot know where God will go
But seeking we are found
Who are you looking for?
God will not be boxed in
What we have found is love unbound
