I do not know where they have laid Him

1
I do not know where they have laid Him.
The stone is taken away from the tomb.
Oh! They have taken Him away!
Oh! Where is He?
2
Disciples came and saw the empty tomb
But went away so soon to their own homes.
They’re satisfied with just the facts.
But where’s my Lord?
  Where is He, my Jesus?
Where is He, my Beloved?
Where is He Whom my soul doth love?
Jesus, my Love, I just want You.
3
My heart is broken from my deepest need.
Don’t ask me, angels, why I’m weeping.
Nothing but Jesus fills my inner being.
Oh! Where’s my Love?
4
Someone is standing right behind me.
It’s just the gardener I can barely see.
Sir, if you carried Him away...
Oh! Where is He?
  Where is He my Jesus?
Where is He my Beloved?
Tell me where you have laid Him
And I’ll carry Him away, I’ll carry Him away.
5
And then I heard a voice say, “Mary.”
That sweetest voice that penetrated me.
It is the voice of my Beloved,
Jesus, my Love.
  I have found my Jesus!
I have found my Beloved!
I have found Whom my soul doth love,
Jesus, my love, I just love You!
6
But Jesus told me not to touch Him yet.
He must ascend first to the Father
And to My Father and your Father
To My God and your God.
  Go and tell My brothers,
I ascend to the Father
To My Father and your Father,
And My God and your God, go tell My brothers.

On February 28, 1937, Howard Higashi was born to a Hawaiian sugar plantation foreman and his wife. Little did these parents imagine that their newborn infant was destined to become a melodious servant of Christ. Howard was born a third-generation Hawaiian of Japanese Buddhist ancestry. Growing up enjoying the easy-going environment of the island seemed unlikely to prepare his heart to be a desperate seeker of God.

Nevertheless, paradise seemed to end when the father he adored, had several heart attacks. He drained his savings to fly back-and-forth from college in California to be with his father, who died at the age of 52. For the first time, Howard began to question the meaning of life. He married Lily Agena in 1965, which brought some comfort to him. In 1968 Higashi met a Christian, who was called by the Lord to go back to college for the gospel’s sake. This student’s daily living touched Howard, who received the Lord that year, when he was 31. He had a dynamic salvation that opened his wife to the gospel; she received the Lord soon afterward. He obtained a degree to become a high school math teacher, but chose to respond to the Lord’s call by faith instead. The Higashis were instrumental in reaching hundreds of college students and many relatives with the gospel of Christ. He spent the rest of his life laboring in the gospel from campus to campus, shepherding others, writing spiritual songs, and ministering the truth in order to build up the Body of Christ. Howard Higashi was called home to Christ on November 27, 1998 at the age of 61.

Where is the final stanza that starts; But Jesus told me not to touch Him yet, I must ascend first to my Father..... with the combined chorus; go and tell my brothers I ascend to my Father....?
