EARLY ONE MORNING AT THE BREAKING OF DAWN
TWO WOMEN WENT OUT TO THE GARDEN ALONE
THEY WERE GOING TO ANNOINT JESUS WITH SPICES THAT DAY
BUT JESUS HAD RISEN THE STONE ROLLED AWAY

WHY SEEK YE THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD
FOR JESUS HAS RISEN THE ANGEL THEN SAID

CAN'T REMEMBER ALL THE SONG, NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT IF SO I MAY HAVE IT HERE SOMEWHERE.

Just saw this post. Sandy Knight is my cousin and I remember them singing this song, but I don't remember if she wrote it. I grew up in the church where the Roy Knight Singers used to sing.

"Why seek ye the living among the dead, among the dead,
He's not here but he is risen, remember the words he said,
He said I must be given unto the hands of sinners to be crucified,
and come alive, and forever live again."

That's about all I remember of the song.

Not correct as I remember it - it goes:

Why seek the living, among the dead?
He is not here but is risen as he said!
Alleluia .. Ah A le-e liaaa...
Alleluia
