Heaven's flag flew at half mast
All creation stood silent
Afraid to ask, "What comes next
Now that evil's in command?"
Satan laid down to take a rest
The battle was tough
But He proved He was the best
And He won, just like He planned
But then the stone rolled away
Hit a tree that shook the birds
Who shouted loud to the clouds
"Good news, have you heard?"
Ol' Satan woke in a huff
And said "What's goin' on?"
And all creation shouted back at Him
"He's gone, yes He's gone!"
He's gone, He's gone
There ain't nothing you can do
He's gone, He's gone
He's done defeated you
You thought Calvary was Your victory
But you were wrong all along
Three days in the grave
And He's gone, yes He's gone
Ol' Satan rolled his eyes
Shook his head and said "It can't be."
"It's a lie, I saw Him die
Three days ago on Calvary."
"He's dead, I know He's dead
Somebody please tell me they're wrong."
And all heavens shouted down at Him
"He's gone, yes He's gone!"
He's gone, He's gone
There ain't nothing you can do
He's gone, He's gone
He's done defeated you
You thought Calvary was Your victory
But you were wrong all along
Three days in the grave
And He's gone, yes He's gone
(He's gone)
He's gone, He's gone
There ain't nothing you can do
(I said He's gone)
He's gone, He's gone
He's done defeated you
You thought Calvary was Your victory
But you were wrong all along
Three days in the grave...
And He's gone, yes He's gone
Gone, gone, gone...
