death definitely defeated

Verse 1] They placed a crown of thorns on the King of Peace, Blood drippin’ down as they mocked Him in the streets. Whipped ’til His flesh tore, pain so deep, But He carried that cross, no retreat, no sleep. Nailed to the wood, arms stretched wide, Looked up to the sky as He bled and cried, “Father, forgive ‘em”—mercy in His eyes, Even while the righteous Son was crucified. Soldiers laughed, crowds walked by, But in His silence, Heaven heard His cry. He took the blame, bore every sin, Darkness fell—but that wasn’t the end. [Chorus] Three days down, but He rose again, Stone rolled back, death couldn’t win. Grave couldn’t hold Him, chains undone, He’s alive, He reigns, God’s risen Son. From the pain, from the tomb, from the blood He bled— He conquered it all, just like He said. [Verse 2] Pierced in His side, thorns on His head, Buried in silence, they thought He was dead. But early that Sunday, the earth it shook, Angel on the stone, just take a look. Mary cried tears, thought it was the end, But He stood in the garden—her Savior, her Friend. “Why you weepin’? I told you I’d rise,” Hope in His voice, glory in His eyes. From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the throne, He paid the price so we’d never be alone. The Lamb who was slain, now the Lion who roars, He opened up Heaven, unlocked the doors. [Chorus] Three days down, but He rose again, Stone rolled back, death couldn’t win. Grave couldn’t hold Him, chains undone, He’s alive, He reigns, God’s risen Son. From the pain, from the tomb, from the blood He bled— He conquered it all, just like He said. [Bridge] Scars in His hands, still show the cost, But those same hands lift up the lost. He took the nails, He wore the crown, So we could wear grace and never drown. [Outro] So when life gets heavy, and you feel that weight, Just remember the stone that rolled away. He rose in power, He rose in love, Our Savior, our King, from Heaven above.
