lyrics
Part I
He walks down the road,
The cross a heavy load,
Too much for one to bear,
But the people just watch and stare.
At the end of his path,
He gets to rest at last,
As soldiers pound their spikes
In his wrists, with all their might.
Then they raise him up,
The cross falls with a thump,
A purple robe on his chest,
A crown of thorns adorns his head.
How did he end up here?
The people, they all cheered,
As they threw palms at his feet
When he first walked this street!
But now they’ve turned their backs,
All they do is mock and laugh.
They set a killer free!
Oh, can’t they see?
This man is innocent!
Just what has he done?
He healed the blind and the lame,
Oh, what a shame!
Part II
In a tomb, his body lays,
A stone rolled in front, guards set in place.
On the third night, the guards fell asleep,
The stone rolled aside, Oh, such a mystery.
Then Mary came, and found an empty tomb.
She cried out, turned around, then froze,
‘Cause standing outside, were two men glowing bright.
Said, “You won’t find him here, ‘cause in the night he arose!”
Part III
Ol’ Lucifer, yeah he tried his best,
To put the Holy Son down to rest.
He had it all planned out, through and through,
But in the end, Satan’s plans they all fell through.
‘Cause there ain’t nothin’ that can hold Jesus down
Yeah, He threw the chains of death on the ground;
He kicked the door of the grave open wide;
Through his death He gave us Life!
(He Arose! He Arose! Hallelujah, Christ Arose!)
