Grave Gifts

They took Him down from the tree

The spear proved He was dead.

They laid His body in a tomb

And put linens around the Head  

A rich man gave up his tomb

A teacher gave him aid

The King of the Jews was forsaken, 

In a grave His body laid.

Disciples hid in an upper room

Thinking something had gone wrong.

They thought that thrones awaited them

As they joined in the throng.

They must have felt so stupid  

Thinking it was all a joke  

But they were wrong, the King still moved. 

They just had to be awoke
