Oh how they all laughed and scorned As Jesus bore the crown of thorns And how they cheered in loud display As nails were driven all the way Through hands and feet to crimson wood Blood dripping down to where they stood Bruised and beat and bleeding red The Christ, the King, is nailed and dead The corpse of Jesus now entombed The worry of His promise loomed Three days of silence prophesied For Jesus Christ to die then rise The stone was moved, the entrance clear No one, no body did appear No mortal man could launch this feat The prophecy is now complete Death to life, the Messiah rose Greatest act of love anyone has known For He loved the world, gave His only Son Conqueror of death, Mighty Holy One Blood was spilled and the promise kept Of eternal life for all who accept Now that sin's conquered, the Messiah reigns Everlasting life, the gift that remains For He loved the world, gave His only Son Conqueror of death, Mighty Holy One Now that Jesus gave his life He now can dwell in you and I The Holy Ghost has set us free From pain and sin and misery Eternal life in paradise Paid by the blood of Jesus Christ
