They mocked you and they struck you
They beat you again and again.
They made you carry the cross
To the place your life would
end. They labeled you 'King of the
Jews'
Hurled insults and shook their
heads. They said
"Save yourself
come down off the cross
And prove what you have said!
"But you had other motives
You had other plans. To give up
your life that day
A living sacrifice for man. Although
you were in pain
And cried out to your dad
You gave up your life for me
And all the dignity you had. The
curtain of the temple
Was torn completely in two. Holy
people were raised to life
Who were buried in the tombs.
Your body was wrapped in linen cloth
An in a tomb was placed. Your
lifeless body resting
From the torture it had faced. An
angel of the lord appeared
And rolled away the stone. His
appearance was like lightning
And clothes as white as snow.
After the third day this is
On the third day of the week
"He is risen from the dead
"The angel of the lord did speak.
On that glorious day
oh Lord
Some women you did greet. Filled
with joy they ran to you
And worshipped at your feet. "Do
not be afraid
" you said
"to go to Galilee
Go and tell my brothers
For there they will see me. "The
disciples went to the mountain
Where you had told them to
be. There you told them
"All authority Is given unto me."
"Make disciples of all the nations
And baptize them in the name
Of the Father
Son and Holy Spirit
For them to earth I came." "Obey
what I command you
And everything I say

And surely I am with you
To the very end of age."
