From the Heavens to the Earth
From Bethlehem to Calvary
From the shining star of Christmas
To the rugged, bloodstained tree
From the bosom of The Father
To the Virgin Mary's womb
From the Manger to the Cross
From the Throne Room to the Tomb

From the Fishermen so humble
To the Pharisees so proud
From Angels who cried "holy"
To the "crucify him" crowd
From the Three Wise Men to Pilate
From the Temple to the Trial
From the cup of Sweet Communion
To the vinegar so vile

From the Crown fit for Creator
To the wicked Crown of Thorns
From hosannas and high praises
To the spitting, stripes, and scorn
From the six days of Creation
To the three days spent with Death
From the grave's lifeless performance
To the surge of Spirit breath

From the Stone to Rock of Ages
From Defeat to Victory
From the Doubters to Believers
From the Captives to the Free
From the Earth back to the Heavens
From the Grave back to the Glory
From the Tomb back to the Throne Room
This is the Resurrection Story.
