Night Before Easter

The night was so different from all of the rest

A silence covers the earth

The stars had no glimmer the moon tries to hide

For in death lies the man of their birth

In a room filled with sorrow a mother is crying

For Jesus her son now is gone

Her child sent from Heaven was taken away

And heartbroken she feels all alone

At the feet of his mother a little boy cries

Saying Momma I don't understand

I remember the love of love in his eyes

That I felt by the touch of his hand

The King of all ages the giver of life

For a moment lies silent and still

But then a power sent from heaven

Came breaking the night

And death must bow to his will

Then the stone moves the earth shakes

The birds start singing

The sun shines the earth warms

A new life is springing

And the little boy stops crying

And his mother is smiling

For death could not hold their king

No death could not hold their king

Their king
