Night
had settled in Judea
Death had claimed the crucified
But the stone rent from its mooring
Where the Lord lay wrapped inside.
Soldiers kept a careful vigil
Pilate's seal could not be torn
But the power of God descended
On that early Easter morn.
Jesus rose the mighty victor
Death no longer held its prey
Captive souls once held in bondage
Were released that Easter day.
Saints and angels join the chorus
Christ has risen from the dead
Heaven echoes back the story
He has risen as He said.
Chorus
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Christ is risen from the dead
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
He has risen as He said.

I totally forgot to comment on this earlier.... I thought it was gorgeous! It's so wonderful to have the knowledge that Christ has t the power over death, so death is not the end when it comes to the saved! Thank you for sharing!!
