First At the Tomb
Mary came to the tomb at break of dawn
finding it empty she did feel forlorn.
To Peter she hurried
to say she was worried
the body of Jesus was not there to mourn.
He and the other disciple did run
but by the other was Peter outrun
and got there ahead
to bend down his head
and looking therein saw grave clothes undone.
Peter following on went straight right in,
saw the wrappings and the cloth that had been
a cover for his face
in another place.
The other went in and believed within.
John 20.1-10
