Death Defeating Death


See, the tomb is empty,
      Lord Jesus is alive,
Defeating darkness, death,
      He has risen again ~
We breathe eternal breath;

See, the tomb is empty,
     Christ has resurrected,
In Him, hope is renewed,
     We have forever life ~
Through death, death He subdued;

See the tomb is empty,
     Messiah magnified,
Seated on God’s right hand,
    Evermore in heaven ~
We’ll see him on that strand.

A nice job on this one based on faith. Spring always reminds me of the fact that we will live again in heaven and of Jesus' sacrifice of Himself. Reads like a good contender for the contest. Way to go. Sara
