Matthew 28:8-15
Why would they steal a body?
Tell me that
And say he was alive if he was dead
What mileage would they get from that?
What purpose would it serve?
Ridiculous the thought of it
Are you right in the head!
And all the joy they came into
And all the faith they found
And all the lives they lived from then
This world their sacred ground
And all the love they preached from then
The witness that they bore
You don’t do that for coffins
Or tombs or grieving sore
You do it because he rose again
And so confirmed my life
You do it for the love of him
Who endured all the strife
You do it ‘cause you know the score
From morning light till eve
Christ is truly risen
And this we now believe
