I am looking for a song about Jesus' death and resurrection. I learned the song as a child in Germany at an english speaking baptist church. It has been at least 20 some-odd years.
The lyrics I remember are:
'and the stone moves, the earth shakes, birds start singing, the little boy stops crying, a mother is happy, for death could not hold their king'.
Please help.
Death could not hold their king?

Death could not hold their king?
Here you go
The Night Before Easter
1.
The night was so different from all the rest,
And a silence covers the Earth;
The stars have no glimmer, the moon tries to hide,
For in death lies the man of their birth.
Chorus
Then a stone moves, the earth shakes (and) birds start singing;
The sun shines, the earth warms (for) new life it's bringing;
A little boy stops crying; a mother is smiling,
For death could not hold their King!
2.
In a room filled with sorrow, a mother cries
For Jesus, her Son now is gone;
Her child sent from heaven was taken away,
Heart-broken, she feels all alone.
3.
At the feet of his mother, a little boy cries,
Saying, "Mama, I don't understand;
I remember the look of love in His eyes,
That I saw, by the touch of His hand."
4. The King of all ages, the Giver of life,
For a moment lies silent and still;
But a power sent from heaven comes breaking the night,
And death must bow to his will.
Great version of this on this CD:
London Homecoming
Enjoy
