The tomb was guarded by 16 soldiers

Jesus rose from the grave that day
Just as the Scriptures declared—
The Tomb was prepared for Him
The Roman guard around the tomb would
Have consisted of 16 soldiers because
Jesus was an important political prisoner—
Guards slept in shifts but soon
He would be lifted up

The Saviour laid down for three days and
Then He was resurrected by His Father
Human power over Jesus was now finished
Soon men would be empowered by the Holy Spirit!

His Kingdom is from Everlasting to Everlasting
He has conquered death and that is why with each
Living breath we should praise Him because
He is the Alpha and the Omega—
He rose from the grave that day
Just as the Scriptures declared
The tomb was guarded by 16 soldiers
But that could not stop the resurrection

His Kingdom is from everlasting to everlasting
He tasted death for us so that
We could taste life through Him—
He is the Alpha and the Omega
The tomb was guarded by 16 soldiers
But that could not stop the resurrection
