Lyrics
Don’t Cry by Kirk Franklin
Arrangement For Easter Alfie Von Pattie
Pattie
Why do you cry? He has risen.
Why are you weeping? He's not dead.
Why do you cry? he has risen.
Why are you weeping? He's not dead.
Alfie
He paid it all on that lonely highway (hayyyy) Von/Pattie.
And his anointing I can feel.
He shed his blood (ohh ohh ohh (Von/Pattie).
For my transgressions (ohh ohh ohh).
And by his stripes we are healed. (All 3 on Harmony)
Alfie Von Pattie
Why do you cry? He has risen.
Why are you weeping? He's not dead.
