They said that It was only a rumor
That never did I ever die
They said that it was just a fairy tale
That it all was just a lie

They said I was never executed
Or never did I go on trial
They said that it was just a hoax
A piece of non-fiction all the while

They wanted believers to lose their faith
That I was the one prophesied to come
Who would bring a victory to this world
And over death to taste victory won

I was born of a virgin into this world
Sent down from My Father up above
I offered myself as a lamb of sacrifice by choice
Because those I created I did truly love

I walked this earth among many peoples
Carrying a message of truth across the land
And the Holy Spirit did speak of me
That eternal life would come through my hands

I spoke a living word that did heal many
among The sick and those who did live in pain
And as their spirits tasted of my bread
Their lives would never be the same again

And yet among the ones who should have been holy
The Pharisees and Sadducees alike
They did spread the words of rumor
That all that I did speak and do were only lies

They saw that what they had built among men
Was doomed one day to surely fall
So to save their places and their riches
They did send out across the land a great call

For they did ask the king of Israel
And also help from the Romans too
To trial me and bring about my death
So that mankind would not know the truth

They were guided by the love of this worlds riches
Promised from the evil one of this world who was King
But they sided with one destined to be the biggest loser
And would one day taste of his hellish destiny

And when they put me on trial for all to see
They told all that I did say and do was only lies
And that if they were to put me to death real soon
Then all that was rumors would surely die

But as they hung me that afternoon on a tree
With two others who did share my fate
The clouds became dark and storms did rise
As they heard me ask My soul for My Father to take

And some who believed among the unbelievers
Did lay my body in a brand new tomb
And after three days did come to pass
They did find the rumors they heard were true

For though I had laid in the ground for three days
And my body should’ve begun to stink
The guards at my tomb and the Godless soon
Did have much to ponder over and think

For my body had risen as it was written
And from death did I take away its sting
As I am alive forever and ever
The king of life with eternity to bring

And now thousands are saved each and every day
Who do now call upon my sweet name
And satan has lost the battle and his power
And he is destined to taste of hell’s torrid flames

For truth did prove the reality of the rumors
While lies today did find their death
For I am surely alive and welcome all believers
Into my eternal and precious rest.
