The World vs. the Word

"Pilate saith unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can" (Matthew 27:65).

Make it as sure as you can;
You have a watch, Pilate said.
God versus pitiful man,
Supposing the Lord would stay dead!

Make it as sure as you can;
Yet three days elapsed and He rose,
In spite of their very best plan,
In spite of their arrogant prose.

Make it as sure as you can,
The world continues to say!
Relentlessly working to ban
The historical proof on display.

Make it as sure as you can,
Yet when your best efforts are done,
The word of the Savior shall stand,
And the world shall bow to God's Son.
