The demons were planning on having a party one night
They got beer, Jack Daniels', and pretzels, little red wine some white
They were celebrating how they crucified Christ on that tree
But Satan, the snake himself, wasn't so at ease
Well, he took his crooked finger and he dialed the phone by his bed
To call an old, faithful friend who know for sure that He was dead
"Hey Grave", Satan said. "Tell me, did my plan fail?"
Old grave just laughed and said, "Ha, the dude is dead as nails".
(Chorus)
On Friday night, they crucified the Lord at calvary
But He said, "Don't dread. In three days, I'm gonna live again, you'll see".
When problems try to bury you and make it hard to pray
It may seem like Friday night but Sunday's on the way
A tranquilizer and a horror flick didn't calm Satan's fear
So Saturday night, he called up grave, scared of what he'd hear
"Hey Grave, what's going on?" Grave says, "Man, you called me twice.
And I tell you one more again, boss. The Jew's on ice".
Satan said, "Man, remember when Lazarus was in his grave?
You see everything was cool then four days later, Boom! He was raised.
Now this Jesus is much more trouble than anyone has been to me
And it got this man shook cause this man said, "He'll only be dead three".
(Chorus)
Sunday morning, Satan woke with a jump ready to blow a fuse
He was shaking from the tips of his pointed ears to the toes of his pointed shoes
He said, "Grave, tell me is He alive? I don't want to lose my neck"
Grave said, "Your evilness, maintain your cool, you're a wreck"
Grave said, "Hey now, cool your jets, Big D. My sting is still intact. You see, Jesus, he is dead forever, man, he ain't never coming back
So just, mellow out, man just go drink up or shoot up but just leave me alone
And i'll catch la.. la.., a.. Oh no, man, Oh no!, Oh no! Someone's messing with the stone
Then the stone was pushed away and it bounced a time or two
And an angel stepped aside and said, "I'm Gabriel, who are you?"
If you're wondering where the Lord is at this very hour
I tell you He's alive and well with the resurrection power!
