Touch Me Not

"Touch me not," Said the Master
Two millennial ago
He'd not ris'n to the Father
When first to Mary He did show

He'd a message for her to send
That He was alive all anew
And He was soon to ascend
For other works to do

According to the Father's plan
He broke the bands of death
And because of Him all man can
Again have living breath

In life, death, and resurrection
He followed the Father's will
He left us with instructions
And, we know He's living still

Through the Savior we pray
And learn what we should do
He would that we would obey
And love as He did too

John 20: 17
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not;
for I am not yet ascended to my Father:
but go to my brethren, and say unto them,
I ascend unto my Father, and your Father;
and to my God, and your God.
