Encounter at the Empty Tomb (Dieter F. Uchtdorf) [Apr 2026]

In the darkness women made their way, Hearts so heavy on that mournful day. Love compelled them through the morning gloom, Toward the tomb to honor and perfume. He is not here, but He has risen high, The stone is rolled away beneath the sky. Why seek the living where the dead now lie? Our Savior lives — He conquered death’s dark night. They came with questions, grief, and fear, Not expecting miracles to appear. Yet angels spoke in robes of dazzling white, “He is risen! Behold the morning light!” He is not here, but He has risen high, The stone is rolled away beneath the sky. Why seek the living where the dead now lie? Our Savior lives — He conquered death’s dark night. Come and see the place where Jesus lay, Go and tell the world this glorious day. Though centuries divide us from that morn, We too can witness Christ is risen, born. Each new sunrise calls us to the tomb, Walk by faith into the Savior’s room. In prayer and service, let His light break through, Encounter Him — the resurrected You. He is not here, but He has risen high, The stone is rolled away beneath the sky. Why seek the living where the dead now lie? Our Savior lives — He conquered death’s dark night. He lives today, He guides us through the night, His love will turn our darkness into light. Let every heart declare this truth aloud, The risen Christ has conquered death and shroud.
