“Peace Be With You”
The doors were locked keeping the world out
Confusion leads to heartache and despair,
Fear and sadness filled their hearts with dread
What to believe is He alive or is He dead?
Peter and John saw the empty tomb
Mary said that she had seen The Lord,
How can it be when He had been crucified?
Entombed with Roman guards posted outside
“Peace be with you” was His greeting
Disciples are in shock staring in disbelief,
Without warning He appeared among them
Through walls and locked doors He came,
All of their fear turned to instant joy
The stone had indeed been rolled aside,
On the third day Jesus arose with the sun
Death has no power over God’s Eternal Son,
Overjoyed disciples see the Risen Christ
See His nail scarred hands and feet,
They will carry the gospel of sins forgiven
The offering of peace and a home in Heaven.
