Death Defeated
by Gay Brown
God so loved the whole world
After all we had done
He loved us so much
That He sent us His Son
John 3:16
Born of a virgin
Impossible
you say?
His birth was quite certain
As He lay in the hay
Luke 2:7 & 2:12
The Heavens rejoiced
The angels proclaimed
A savior is born
And Christ Jesus is His name
Luke 2:10
He grew into manhood
None wiser than He
He knew of God's plan
To be nailed to a tree
Luke 2:52
He covered the landscape
As He healed and He taught
He cleaned out the temple
The thieves He all caught
Luke 4:37
The wicked despised Him
They sought Him to kill
He knew they would hang Him
Was all in God's will
Psalms 22:16
The twelve sat beside Him
He knew them by name
But one would betray Him
His life end in shame
Matt 23:23
The plotted against Him
They planned night and day
They offered some silver
To Judas one day
Matt 25:15,16
They brought Him to Pilate
He said not a word
He was willing to suffer
'Crucify Him', He heard
Matt 26: 63 & 27:14
The multitudes mocked Him
and cried, 'put Him to death!'
His mother sat weeping
As He took His last breath
Matt 27:31
The sun was darkened
The temple veil rent
The Spirit of Jesus
To God's hand it was sent
Luke 23:46
He was put in a tomb
But on third day
They came to the place
Found the stone rolled away
Matt 27:60 & Luke 24:12
Thus death was defeated
When Christ rose again
The King of all ages
The Savior of Men
Luke 24:16
