We can hope, for Jesus has won for us through his suffering and death on the cross & the victory of his resurrection, that he has conquered all annihilation & death. He now lives & can share with us the power of that victory .

Were you there when they rolled away the stone ?
Were you there when they rolled away the stone?
Oh sometimes it causes me to tremble ,
tremble , tremble.
Were you there when they rolled away the stone?

Were you there when he rose from out the tomb?
Were you there when he rose from out the tomb?
Oh sometimes it causes me to tremble,
tremble, tremble.
Were you there when he rose from out the tomb?
