A Grave Among The Rich And The Wicked
True Strength
At the ninth hour, Jesus cried to the sky
It is finished, bowed his head then he died
An earthquake struck the land and the tombs were now opened
The veil of the tabernacle was now torn in two
Truly, this man was the son of God!
The centurion in charge confessed when he seen what he saw
They broke the legs of the thieves to hasten their deaths
They ordered the bodies to be removed from their cross
When they saw Jesus, it was clear that he was already dead
So they did not break his legs and they left him instead
A soldier was ordered to pierce him with his spear
Blood and water flowed out like a thousand tears
A grave among the rich and the wicked
Where a sinless man lays
A grave among the rich and the wicked
But only for three days
A grave among the rich and the wicked
Where a sinless man lays
A grave among the rich and the wicked
But only for three days
A believing, rich man named Joseph of Arimathea
Went to Pilate and asked for the body of Christ
Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead
Summoned a centurion, to confirm what was said
He heard that it was so, so he gave the body to Joseph
He took down the body and wrapped it in cloth
Nicodemus helped prepare it with myrrh and aloes
They then took his body to a garden near the cross
Joseph placed the body in a tomb that he owned
Cut out of rock, against the entrance he rolled a stone
Guards stood watch to prevent a theft of the body
A seal was even placed against the entrance of the grave
A grave among the rich and the wicked
Where a sinless man lays
A grave among the rich and the wicked
But only for three days
A grave among the rich and the wicked
Where a sinless man lays
A grave among the rich and the wicked
But only for three days
A grave among the rich and the wicked
Where a sinless man lays
A grave among the rich and the wicked
But only for three days
A grave among the rich and the wicked
Where a sinless man lays
A grave among the rich and the wicked
But only for three days
