Easter is coming and this song gets me so excited for it!

 

Though the Earth Cried out for blood
Satisfied her hunger was
Her billows calmed on raging seas
for the souls on men she craved

Sun and moon from 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 awoke with keys
Of Hell on that day
The 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 throes of death
And over turn his rule

Now daughters and the sons of men

Would pay not their dues again
The debt of blood they owed was rent
When the day rolled a new

On Friday a thief

On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke holding keys
To Hell on that day
The first born of the slain
The Man Jesus Christ
Laid death in his grave

On Friday a thief

On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke with keys
Of Hell on that day
The 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
