Gospel of Peter

A scroll unrolled from the sands of time 
Lost whispers echo in a rhythm sublime 
A tale of shadows and a borrowed tomb
Light breaks forth from the ancient gloom
The guards they froze the earth did quake
Stone rolled back for the soul to wake
A vision of glory the veil was torn 
A risen King where death was born
The soldiers fled the silence screamed 
A dream unbroken or so it seemed
The gospel lingers a mystery sung
In the language of the old and young
A glimpse of dawn the women cried
A shadow loomed where the Savior died 
But hope ignites in the darkest hour 
A testament to the risen power 

Peter spoke from a hidden page 
Words of fire through the ages rage
Secrets buried in the earth's deep crust
Rise like voices in truth we trust 

Hidden words behind the veil of time
Buried truth in the sand of the divine 
Pages lost but the whispers still climb
Echoes of Peter's voice in the ancient rhyme 
He spoke of light of the path untold 
A voice of fire a heart so bold
But power plays turned the story cold
Cut the pages left the story on hold
Who decides what we get to believe 
Who hides the words that make us grieve 
The ink may fade but the soul won't leave
The truth's a seed we'll always retrieve 
They said it's gone but the spirit's alive 
In the hearts of seekers it will thrive
Lost in the book yet it'll survive 
A hidden treasure a secret hide

What was erased what did they fear
The truth in the lines they didn't want near
The gospel's gone but its shadow is clear
Lost in the scrolls yet it lingers right here

Peter spoke from a hidden page 
Words of fire through the ages rage
Secrets buried in the earth's deep crust
Rise like voices in truth we trust
