They were glad and filled with joy As they walk the mile of pain and turmoil, They rejoiced by humming a sweet melody Even as the prison gates bolted them in, Darkness became their home- yet, they sing. How could they have found peace ‘midst their suffering? This was beyond understanding. Summoned out of prison, Another mile they walked- not to freedom, Sadly, to execution, The smile on their faces brought confusion, How could they have found peace ‘midst their suffering? This was beyond understanding. As death came nigh- in a gruesome way, Their eyes were fixed to the sky- they won’t look away, As death kissed them free, They gave up the ghost with a loud cry, Not of pain, as it seems, But Hallelujah was their song indeed. ∞ ∞ ∞
