Meditational, thought-provoking songs for easy Christian listening...the music of singer-songwriter Nancy Krebs
Welcome to my Soundclick page! I have been a professional actor and singer for all of my adult life. I felt fairly complete doing theatre, films, voice-over work commercials, and teaching. Ever since I was in High School, I also wrote songs--many of them spiritual in nature. I’ve always felt a strong desire to “serve” in some capacity. It wasn’t until 1994, when I turned the process of writing over to God, that all of the avenues that I had been following seemed to come together. I began to write song after song, inspired by the Holy Spirit, singing at a church that supported my fledgling efforts. People kept asking me ‘do you have a cassette or a CD of your songs?” “No”, I would always answer--for the thought of recording never entered my head. Finally, after much soul-searching, my first album, THE JOURNEY, was created, and concerts followed; and more songs followed, and another album followed, and the journey continues. God is not finished yet, and neither am I. The songs I’ve been blessed to write come under the heading of “meditational”, “contemplative”, “inspirational”; and when people listen, they seem to be moved by the sentiments expressed. My fervent hope is that a song will touch someone’s heart, and that heart will be moved to a closer union with God--the Father, who created us, Jesus the Son, who redeemed us, and the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies us.

Story behind the song
This song is based on John 20:11-18 where Mary Magdalene discovers the empty tomb of Jesus. I was very struck with the image of the angel telling her not to be afraid, and the moment she recognizes the Risen Lord.
Lyrics
EASTER MORNING ©1997 Nancy Krebs The stone is rolled back from the tomb. Who could have done this thing? Nothing here but an empty room. Who could have done this thing? I am afraid to go inside. I am afraid what I might find. So many questions fill my mind. Who could have done this thing? I steel myself to enter his tomb Two angels there in white. No one else in that empty room but two angels dressed in white. “Good woman”, they say, “He is not here” “Good woman, you have no need to fear. Good woman, He is risen from here!” Say two angels dressed in white. I turn around, He is standing there. At first, I don’t recognize Him there. He calls my name, now I can swear I see my Lord, my Master there. The greatest wonder to behold. The greatest story to be told. I turn and see Him standing there. My risen Savior standing there! The stone was rolled back from the tomb. Who could have done this thing? Nothing there but an empty room. Who could have done this thing? We are afraid to go inside, like Mary, afraid what we might find. And the biggest question in our minds... who could have done this thing? Turn to Him, He is waiting there; His arms outstretched to greet us there. He calls our name, now we can swear We see our Lord, our master there. The greatest wonder to behold The greatest story ever told. 6. When she turned and saw Him standing there, Our risen Savior standing there. standing there...standing there...standing there.....
