Parody Lyrics by Randall Hyde

There's a little, small, sign on a cross today
"The King of the Jews" is all the words say
And a big crowd gathers upon this hill-top
They all wonder when all of His pain will stop

They've seen him before, they must've thought He'd reign
But He's nailed to the cross and in such awful pain
Now it looks like His life has just gone down the drain
Thought he would save them all, but now the King is slain

There's a little, small, sign on a cross today
(That's our Lord up there)
"The King of the Jews" is all the words say
(That's our Lord up there)
And a big crowd gathers upon this hill-top
(That's our Lord up there)
They all wonder when all of His pain will stop
(That's our Lord up there)

They've seen him before, they must've thought He'd reign
But He's nailed to the cross and in such awful pain
Now it looks like His life has just gone down the drain
Thought he would save them all, but now the King is slain

There's a body that's wrapped in some white grave cloth
(That's our Lord up there)
There's the Son of Man chosen to die for us all
(That's our Lord up there)
There's an impaled breach as his life signs ebb
(That's our Lord up there)
There's another guy tapped, they chose Christ instead
(That's our Lord up there)

They've seen him before, they must've thought He'd reign
But He's nailed to the cross and in such awful pain
Now it looks like His life has just gone down the drain
Thought he would save them all, but now the King is slain

There's a King on the cross with his arms stretched out
There's a kind man wishing he was more devout
There's a sad mom weeping 'cause her son is dead
There's a crown of thorns jammed onto His holy head

There's some red drops warn us of the death attack
It's a miracle but soon He's coming back
There's a little, small, sign on a cross today
"The King of the Jews" is all the words say

They've seen him before, they must've thought He'd reign
But He's nailed to the cross and in such awful pain
Now it looks like His life has just gone down the drain
Thought he would save them all, but now the King is slain

Rise Again!
Rise Again!
Rise Again!
You know that He'll rise again!
You know that He'll rise again!
You know that He'll rise again!
You know that He'll rise again!
You know that He'll rise again!
