a door to heaven was unlocked
all the angels started stirring
for they’d waited for this moment
since the dawn of the beginning
to bear witness to atonement
for three days their world fell silent
since the Word was put to death
they all watched, anticipating
leaning in with bated breath
in that place of tombs and darkness,
sat within the camp of grief
came the chanting of the rival
and the shouts of unbelief
then the air changed in an instant
earth and heaven started shaking
like a whisper in the distance
growing loud of shackles breaking
every gaze was on the graveyard
then the Father gave the cue
and the stone was rolled and seal was broken
light came bursting through
there the Son stood in His glory
worthy of all earth’s rejoicing
when He gave a shout to heaven
every creature heard His voice
it was fearsome in its power
like a mighty peal of thunder
hosts of heaven fell before Him
mouth agape in awe and wonder
for their King, He was triumphant
and new life could now abound
in their need to offer praise
they whispered “holy” to the ground
then they felt within their being
a new song rise to the surface
pouring forth into the skies
angelic sounds of Kingdom worship
as their eyes were lifted upward
what they saw brought forth a shock
when that tomb was rolled and open
a door to heaven was unlocked
written on the post above it
spanning wide from east to west
was a message to the reader:
“come enter in and find your rest”
