The Conversation
by The Paynes

In the beginning God created man.
In His own image, formed by His own hand.
Satan, oh Satan, he tempted man to fall.
He had to find a sacrifice, to die once and for all....to die once and for all.

So He sent His Son to die, oh the pain He bore.
They laid Him in a borrowed tomb, the stone held fast the door.
Saints all tell the story, I'm about to tell,
about a conversation from the pits of hell....from the pits of hell.

(Satan) Tell me, Death tell me--Oh Death, hear my plea--do we still have Jesus, or did you set him free? This is now the first day, they've laid him in the ground. Tell me, Oh Death tell me--can you hold him down? Can you hold him down?

(Death) Satan, oh Satan, Satan hear me well--I promise, oh I promise, that I shall not fail...That I shall not fail

(Satan) Tell me, Death tell me--this is the second day. Do you still have Jesus or did he get away? Did he get away?

(Death) Satan, Oh Satan--hear me now, once more--The greatest kings and rich men have walked through my dark door. This Jesus, he's no different, he's just a mortal man, and I make this vow to you--He won't escape my hand--no--He won't escape my hand!

(Satan) Tell me, Death, tell me....Tell me don't be slow. Do you still have Jesus or did you let him go? He's been dead for three days, the victory's been won--it's time for celebration--We've overcome God's Son.... We've overcome God's Son!!

Death) Satan, oh Satan, hear me what I say....This morning, OH this morning, the stone was rolled away!! I just couldn't stop him--I couldn't hold him down. With power oh great power, He arose up from the ground!! He arose up from the ground!!!

(All)

He has risen (he has risen) He has risen (he has risen)
Oh Death where is thy sting?
He has risen (he has risen) He has risen (he has risen)
Oh, proclaim Him King of Kings!
He has risen (he has risen) He has risen (he has risen)
OH, He lives forever more!
He has risen (he has risen) He has risen (he has risen)
Oh, proclaim Him Lord of Lords!
proclaim Him Lord of Lords!
