Down from the cross
Laid in the grave
Jesus buried behind a stone
Hearts filled with loss
And emptied of joy
His sheep left all alone
Buried hope, silenced songs
God is laid in the tomb
Friday ends in darkness
All creation steeped in gloom
His body lay still
For the second day
Dead, inside the earth
He obeyed the Father’s will
So we can have a second birth
Buried hope, silenced songs
God is in the tomb
Yet, like a buried seed
We await the bloom
