~

The Day Jesus Died

All the angels in heaven cried
That fateful day when Jesus died

He gave his life on calvary
To forgive the sins of you and me

He had an awful burden to bear
As through his skin the nails did tear

The thunder roared in the blackened sky
To announce to the world that Jesus did die

They buried him in a lonesome tomb
As the hopes of the world turned to gloom

But on the third day he did arise
And ascended to Heaven up in the skies

He is preparing a place for you and me
More magnificent than anything you ever did see

When your time on earth is through
With open arms he will welcome you
