Dead – v2

Dead, cold, without life,

a beating heart stilled

taken from the cross

prepared for the burial

laid down in the tomb

the blackness sealed about Him

our Lord, our Master,

the divine in mortal clay

the stone rolled into place

cementing the earthen grave

So was our Lord, our Savior

before the resurrection

a mortal life spent

lost on the cross

a life given for all of us
