Carrying The Spices

What do we do now, since our Lord has died?

What do we do now, after we have cried?

What do we do now, when our tears have dried?

What do we do now, who will be our guide?

We are purchasing the spices

Purchasing the spices

To preserve the body of our Lord

We are purchasing the spices

Purchasing the spices

To honor the life of our Lord

What do we do now, since we’ve bought the spice?

What do we do now, will it still suffice?

What do we do now, since he paid the price?

What do we do now, is he in Paradise?

We are readying the spices

Readying the spices

To preserve the body of our Lord

We are readying the spices

Readying the spices

To honor the life of our Lord

What will we do now that the day has dawned?

What will we do now, how can we respond?

What will we do now, in the days beyond?

What will we do now, for him we have a bond?

We are carrying the spices

Carrying the spices

To preserve the body of our Lord

We are carrying the spices

Carrying the spices

To honor the life of our Lord
