Death In His Grave |
Though the earth cried out for blood |
Satisfied her hunger was |
Billows calmed on raging seas |
For the souls of men she craved |
Sun and moon on balcony |
Turned their head in disbelief |
Their precious love would taste the sting |
Disfigured and disdained |
On Friday a thief |
On Sunday a king |
Laid down in grief |
But woke with the keys |
To hell on that day |
First born of the slain |
The man Jesus Christ laid |
Death in his grave |
So three days in darkness slept |
The morning sun of righteousness |
But rose to shame the throws of death |
And overturn his rule |
Now daughters and the sons of men |
Would not pay their dues again |
The debt of blood they owed was rent |
When the day rolled anew |
On Friday a thief |
On Sunday a king |
Laid down in grief |
But woke with the keys |
To hell on that day |
First born of the slain |
The man Jesus Christ laid |
Death in his grave |
He has cheated hell |
And seated us above the fall |
In desperate places he paid our wages |
One time once and for all |
On Friday a thief |
On Sunday a king |
Laid down in grief |
But woke with the keys |
To hell on that day |
First born of the slain |
The man Jesus Christ laid |
Death in his grave |
