The Prince of Life Has Risen
The Prince of Life Has Risen
The prince of darkness
Had the Savior’s tomb sealed.
One hundred guards stationed all about,
But a great earthquake all revealed.
A heavenly angel clothed with bright beams
Of God’s glory illuminating his pathway.
The guards shook with great fear;
The hosts of darkness fled away.
This angel moved the stone,
As though it were a pebble.
He called to Christ, “Son of God come forth.”
The earth shook, lightening and thunder to assemble.
Christ came forth from the grave
With the tread of a conqueror;
Brightness lit the end of the night;
Roman guards fainted, each like a toy warrior.
The Prince of Life Has Risen;
An earthquake witnessed the moment.
Over sin He triumphed
And over every mortal torment.
Satan thought he’d triumphed,
As Christ lay asleep in His grave,
But when He arose on Sunday morning,
Satan knew this kingdom he couldn’t save.
He knows he must finally die
And that’s why Satan wants revenge.
The destruction of as many as he can—
God the Father to avenge.
The Prince of Life Has Risen
And will destroy Satan in the end.
So choose not the darkness,
But the glory that our Prince of Life does send.
