The Second Day

Many know the first day they laid my body in old Joe's tomb,

And you probably heard I walked out of there on the third,

But what of the day in between?

Did I just lay there, staining red the shroud they wrapped me in,

Or did the yawning silence of the grave swallow my voice whole?

Neither, truly I say, I was so busy, my spirit loosed from broken,

I proclaimed victory before those who had fallen far from on high

That second day between,

And then led God's heroes, Abraham, more, even a thief, to Paradise,

But more important most, at the feet of death I left sin itself to die.
