By
a man death came to all mankind,
but Yahshua, life He brings;
atonement for sin was paid in full,
by the birth of the King of kings.
God’s
perfect sacrifice was He,
in a manger He lay;
He’ll come again with a mighty shout,
on Resurrection Day!
He’ll return as the conquering Lord.
He’ll bring with Him great judgment,
and bring with Him the saints' rewards.
Oh,
grave, where is your victory?
Oh, grave, where is your sting?
Death’s been defeated, praise His name,
by the birth of the King of kings!

For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
(1 Corinthians 15:21-26)
