They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,
and then twisted together a crown of thorns
and set it on his head.
They came to a place called Golgotha
(which means The Place of the Skull).
When they had crucified him,
they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
From the sixth hour until the ninth hour
darkness came over all the land.
About the ninth hour
Jesus cried out in a loud voice,
"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means,
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice,
he gave up his spirit.
When the centurion and those with him
who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake
and all that had happened, they were terrified,
and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God!"
Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
and placed it in his own new tomb
that he had cut out of the rock.
He rolled a big stone in front of the
entrance to the tomb and went away.
After the Sabbath,
at dawn on the first day of the week,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
went to look at the tomb.
There was a violent earthquake,
for an angel of the Lord
came down from heaven and,
going to the tomb,
rolled back the stone and sat on it.
His appearance was like lightning,
and his clothes were white as snow.
The angel said to the women,
"Do not be afraid,
for I know that you are looking for Jesus,
who was crucified.
He is not here; he has risen,
just as he said.
Come and see the place where he lay.
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee,
to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.
When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.
Then Jesus came to them and said,
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always,
to the very end of the age."

Rise Again

Go Ahead drive the nails in My hands
laugh at me..where you stand.
Go ahead and say it isn't Me
The day will come when you will see.

Cause I'll rise again;
ain't no power on earth can tie me down.
Yes I'll rise again;
death can't keep me in the ground.

Go ahead and mock my name
My love for you is still the same.
Go ahead and bury me,
but very soon I will be free.

Cause I'll rise again;
ain't no power on earth can tie me down.
Yes I'll rise again;
death can't keep me in the ground.

Go ahead and say I'm dead and gone,
you will see that you are wrong.
Go ahead try to hide the Son,
but all will see that I'm the one.

Cause I'll come again,
ain't no power on earth can keep Me back.
Yes I'll come again,
come to take my people back.
