    LYRICS:
    The night was so different from all the rest
    And a silence covers the Earth;
    The stars have no glimmer, the moon tries to hide,
    For in death lies the man of their birth.
    Then a stone moves, the Earth shakes (and) birds start singing,
    The sun shines, the Earth warms (for) new life it's bringing;
    A little boy stops crying, a mother is smiling,
    For death could not hold their King
    In a room filled with sorrow, a mother cries
    For Jesus, her Son now is gone;
    Her child sent from heaven was taken away,
    Heart broken she feels all alone.
    At the feet of his mother a little boy cries
    Saying "'momma' I don't understand;"
    I remember the look of love in His eyes,
    That I saw, by the touch of His hand.
    The King of all ages, the Giver of life,
    For a moment lies silent and still;
    But a power sent from heaven comes breaking the night,
    And death must bow to His will.

    something about when he sings "and that little boy stopped crying and that mother is smiling, for death couldn't hold The King." just brings me to tears. Absolutely love this song.

    I had heard Donnie sing this a long time ago, but I didn't know the name of the song or Donnies last name!
    I tried numerous times over the few years, and finally found it today, but it didn't sound the same, two different artists yet I didn't get the same heart feeling.
    Well now I know! Only Donnie can sing this amazing Love story the way I remember it.
    Thank You Lord Jesus for your Love!

    God had a plan today... To lead me here. To touch my soul in a very deep, profound way. My heart broke wide open and love poured in. Tears flooded my eyes and as grace flooded my soul. If you say music is not medicine for the soul... I beg to differ! Thank you for using this song to draw me back to you Lord !! Feel far from God ? Guess who moved !!!

    I have liked this song since it came out. At an all night sign in Hutchinson, Ks. he was singing this song and LaVerne Tripp was singing I'll Get My Reward, both over and over trying to get the song of the year and as you know this one won. Both are awesome and LaVerne's is going to be sang at my funeral. I am retired law enforcement and that song is very fitting.

    I had the honor and the pleasure of meeting this amazing gentleman in Tennessee at the Gospel Country Music Awards and had the honor of singing on two records produced by Mr. Sumner. The two songs were released by Ready Records, Curtis Andrews, who gave this incredibly blessed opportunity. Donnie Sumner has one of the MOST impeccable and truly beautiful male voices I have ever heard! Precious memories that I hold dear. XO

    What a lovely testimony. To whom much is forgiven, the gratitude is palpable. Donnie's testimony is amazing. The group singing with him would understand for they prayed for Donnie with his Daddy, J.D., for years. They knew he was singing from his own experience . . . and he co-wrote the song!

    I remember the year this came out and he won Top Song. He sang this several times and LaVerne Tripp sang I'll Get My Reward several times at the Hutchinson Kansas All Night Sing. Both GREAT songs, but Donnie ended up winning that the end of the year. Also that year my dad died the night before Easter so this song means a lot to me.

    The night was so different from all the rest
    And a silence covers the Earth;
    The stars have no glimmer, the moon tries to hide,
    For in death lies the man of their birth.
    Chorus:
    Then a stone moves, the Earth shakes (and) birds start singing,
    The sun shines, the Earth warms (for) new life it's bringing;
    A little boy stops crying, a mother is smiling,
    For death could not hold their King
    In a room filled with sorrow, a mother cries
    For Jesus, her Son now is gone;
    Her child sent from heaven was taken away,
    Heart broken she feels all alone.
    Repeat Chorus
    At the feet of his mother a little boy cries
    Saying "'momma' I don't understand;"
    I remember the look of love in His eyes,
    That I saw, by the touch of His hand.
    Repeat Chorus
    The King of all ages, the Giver of life,
    For a moment lies silent and still;
    But a power sent from heaven comes breaking the night,
    And death must bow to His will.
    Repeat Chorus
    Optional Ending:
    When death could not hold their King.

      Donnie's father, Russell H Sumner, was CoG Overseer of Southern New England. It was at the annual CoG Camp Meeting in Connecticut that we first met Donnie. This was a year after Donnie had left ELVIS & had returned to the LORD JESUS. At the annual CoG State Men's Fellowship meeting on Saturday, Donnie gave his testimony, played piano & sang from his heart just like in this song! What a blessing Donnie's testimony & singing was to everyone. . . much rejoicing & praising God, our Heavenly Father!
