The Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:12-19 © Ben Burton 1-30-2015 If Christ was proclaimed resurrected By some who, before, didn't believe What of those who strongly objected And called it a mass fantasy His tomb closely guarded by soldiers Whose sleeping would cost them their lives They'd let no one near it, moreover Arrest anyone who dared try And yet with the third morning's breaking The large sealing stone had been moved Prodigiously, that Rock of Ages Provided the world with its proof Some soldiers who witnessed the wonder Would come to know Christ as their Lord The miracle, not Roman blunder Was a pact to unlock Heaven's door Yet, if truly the Lamb has not risen The Gospels were written in vain The tenets of Christian religion Have all been a sham and a shame Were Christ born for earthly life only Without resurrection for man The entire religion is phony And God has been mocked in His plan But let not your mind endure struggles Not even as life nears its end For Christ rose and banished your troubles And the good life has yet to begin
