about

This is a folk song from the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church of South India. This Church traces its roots back to St. Thomas. Although most modern examples of this song feature Western/electric instruments, I decided to write an arrangement that features traditional/classical Indian instruments.

lyrics

Verse 1.
Behold O, Mary, I am the garden keeper
I am He who planted Paradise
Behold O, Mary, I am the revival
I am the life and the resurrection

Chorus
I was crucified
Was sealed in a tomb
Don’t touch me now
For I have not ascended

I defeated death by death
Look inside the empty tomb
Proceed quickly and tell all the others


Verse 2.
Behold O, Mary, I am the garden keeper
I am He who planted Paradise
Behold O, Mary, I am the revival
I am the life and the resurrection

Chorus
I defeated death by death
Look inside the empty tomb
Proceed quickly and tell all the others

I was crucified
Was sealed in a tomb
Don’t touch me now
For I have not ascended



Chorus
I defeated death by death
Look inside the empty tomb
Proceed quickly and tell all the others
