Death had come, despair set in
The dream was gone, a fear within,
The light they saw that shone so bright
Quickly turned to darkest night.
They left behind that brand new life
Three glorious years of love and strife,
Confusion filled this loyal band
Who had walked & touched the Master's hand
Yet all was over, their leader dead
Dreams of glory were buried instead.
Then came the dawn, a brand new day
The Son came forth to show the way.
The victorious King, He conquered death
Giving to life a resurrected breath.
To give us hope, one eternal day
He's come to take His own away.
So go therefore, tell everyone
Of a loving God who sent His Son,
To die for all the sins of men
But conquered death, He is Risen!
