MY ETERNAL AND RESTFUL PEACE
They said that it was only a rumor
That never did I ever die
They said that it was only a fairy tale
That it all was just a lie
They said I was never executed
Or never did I go on trial
They said that it was just a hoax
A piece of fiction all the while
They wanted believers not to believe
That I was the one prophesied to come
Who would bring a victory to this world
And over death to taste victory won
I was born of a virgin into this world
Sent down from the heavenly God above
I offered Myself as a lamb of sacrifice by choice
Because those I created I did love
I walked this earth among many peoples
Carrying a message of truth across the lands
And the Holy Spirit did speak of Me
That eternal life would come through My hands
I spoke a living word that did always heal
The sick and those who did live in pain
And as their spirits tasted of my bread
Their lives were never the same again
And yet among ones who should have been holy
The Pharisees and Sadducees alike
They began to spread deceitful words of rumor
That all that I did do were only made up lies
They saw that what they had built among men
By their evil hands was destined to fall
So to save their places among men and their riches
Across the land they sent out a great call
For they did ask for help from the king of Israel
And also from the Romans too
To trial me and bring about my death
So that mankind would not know the truth
They were guided by the love of this world's riches
Promised by the evil one of this world who was king
But they sided with one destined to be the biggest loser
And will soon also share his hellish destiny
And when they put Me on trial for all to see
They said everything i did was only lies
And that if they put me to death real soon
Then all that was rumors would surely die
But as they hung Me that afternoon on a tree
With two others to share My fate
The clouds became dark and storms did rise
As they saw the life leave from My face
And some who believed among the unbelievers
Did take and lay My body in a brand new tomb
And after three days did come to pass
They did find the rumors they heard were true
For though I had laid in the tomb for three days
And My body should have begun to stink
The guards at My tomb and the godless soon
Did have a lot on their minds to contemplate
For My body had risen as it was written
And from death did I take away his sting
For I am alive forever and ever
The King of life with eternity to bring.
And now thousands are saved each and every day
Who do now call upon My sweet name
And satan has lost the battle and his power
As he is destined to taste of hell’s flames
For truth did overcome the rumors
And lies did also find their death
For I am alive and welcome all believers
Into My eternal and precious rest.
