Why Do You Seek the Living Among the Dead -Luke 24: 5

Jesus was crucified on Good Friday
then His body was placed in a tomb
the women had spices they'd prepared
taking themselves so filled with gloom

When they reached there they met two
standing before them in dazzling white
this made them fear bowed to ground
but these angels spoke of the light

Warning not to look for what's dead
when looking for life in that place
for Jesus is risen from the dead
recalled this as Jesus said to their face

The words of Christ now they knew
they must now go and tell the rest
Jesus is alive now and forevermore
in our hearts welcome in your guest

This living Jesus died for our sins
after three days from the dead, He arose
living in our hearts by His holy spirit
giving us the victory over our foes
