Church of the Holy Sepulchre
Above the church
Over the grave of Jesus
Above when all is below
Catholic devotion
Gold and silver overlays the life within
Franciscan monks
Give their lives to live here
Above the church
Steps, steps down
The hill is clothed in stone
Overlaid with silver and gold
Three chapels
Orthodox, Catholic and Armenian
Down, down, down
To the tomb where He lay
Perhaps
Up, Up, Up
The incense rises as a smoking cloud
Dark and heavy
A peak into the darkness
Of a first century tomb
Death remains
Jesus is alive
He is not here
