It's been one long day and a Sabbath night Since they tore you down from that cursed tree I stood at the foot, watched the sky turn black Couldn't breathe, couldn't scream, just watched you leave The women gathered, we washed what we could Hasty linen, hurried spices, before the sun fell low Now the tomb is sealed, the stone rolled tight And my heart is a grave where hope used to grow 'Cause nothing compares Nothing compares to you My Rabbi, my light, my deliverer true Nothing compares Nothing compares to you I remember the night you called my name Seven shadows fled when you spoke "Mary" soft No more chains, no more screaming in the dark You gave me back my soul, lifted me aloft Blind men saw, the lame danced home Storms grew quiet at the sound of your voice You promised we'd see the kingdom come But now you're gone, and I can't make the choice 'Cause nothing compares Nothing compares to you The teachings by the shore, the fire in your eyes Nothing compares Nothing compares to you They say three days... you spoke it plain The Son of Man would rise again I want to believe, but the fear is loud The demons whisper, "It's over now" Still I rise before the dawn breaks wide With my sisters, oils, and trembling hands We'll go to the garden, anoint what remains Honor the One who broke every chain 'Cause nothing compares Nothing compares to you Even in this silence, a glimmer breaks through Nothing compares Nothing compares to you My Rabbi... my hope... I'll wait for you I'll wait for you...
