Don't look for the living in the place of the dead don't let your sorrow erase what He's said

Please help me with the lyrics of the Easter Song.
Before Sunrise, tear-stained eyes headed for the tomb

Don't look for the living in the place of the dead

Don't look for the living in the place of the dead don't let your sorrow erase what He's said

The words I remember are shown below:

Before sunrise tear-stained eyes headed for the tomb
Mary Magdalene ....her gloom
Who will roll the stone away
Who will heal the pain
Her last farewell no one can tell
The hope that has been slain

Chorus
Don't look for the living
In the place of the dead
Don't let your sorrow
Erase what He's said
Don't be discouraged
For the darkness has fled
Don't look for the living
In the place of the dead

There are 2 more verses

Don't look for the living in the place of the dead don't let your sorrow erase what He's said

...Mary Magdalene a cradled in her gloom...

Peter and John set off at a run
to where the body had laid
An empty grave
a hollow cave
and hope is born again

The disciples in confusion
met in an upper room
A voice says 'Peace'
Discussion cease
and every face turns white
Never fear I'm really here
And everything's alright

Don't look for the living in the place of the dead don't let your sorrow erase what He's said

DON'T LOOK
By Garth Hewith

Before sunrise, with tear-stained eyes
Headed for the tomb,
Mary Magdalene
A'cradled in her gloom
Who will roll the stone away?
Who will heal the pain?
Her last farewell no one can tell
The hope that has been slain.

But the stone has gone
So is the one she came looking for
She runs to Simon Peter
They've taken away my Lord
Peter and John out on a run
To where the body had lain
An empty tomb, a hollow cave
And hope is born again

Chorus
Don't look for the living
In the place of the dead
Don't let your sorrow
Erase what He's said
Don't be discouraged
For the darkness has fled
Don't look for the living
In the place of the dead


Tell me, lady; why do you weep?
Who are you looking for?
She turned towards the 'gardener'
"I'm looking for my Lord."
Just one word! She never heard
A melody so sweet!
Mary! was all He had to call
She's kneeling at His feet

The news had spread, "He's back from the dead"
Some said it can't be true.
The disciples in confusion
They waited in an upper room
A voice says 'Peace'! Discussion cease
Every face turns white
"Do not fear I'm really here
And everything's alright!"
