Robes of white
stained in red
He gave up the fight
the ultimate price; He dies and bled

The sky darkened
the earth shook
the trumpets sounded for all who harkened
all was ended, or so it looked

3 days later, triumph rang
all across the heavens
angels sang
the price of death lessoned

Because He arose
we have life
He erased our woes
no more is our strife

He paid the price
Death’s grip was let loose
We were released from its vice
Hope to the world was reintroduced

Because He lives!
