Couplet 1

The Son of God
To the cross has gone
His closest friends have scattered
Triumphant welcomes distant fade
God’s Earthly rule seems shattered

Refrain 1

Where O God is the justice here
For those who longed to follow
The hope He offered drowns in tears
And heartless dawns tomorrow

Couplet 2

But wait this tale has more to tell
Than force’s domination
His light of silent dignity
Shines through humiliation

Refrain 2

Death on Him is not imposed
Whose power exceeds all kingdoms
Obedience to death He chose
A slave to serve our freedom

Couplet 3

And now this glorious Prince of life
Does more than teach examples
As He ascends to His throne above
All sin and hell lie trampled

Refrain 3

Where o death is your victory
Since Jesus overwhelmed you
God’s silent revolutionary
Has once for all expelled you

Couplet 4

Come share the joy of an empty grave
That fills to overflowing
And face your fears in the certainty
Of Your own resurrection

Refrain 4

Though our hearts are scarred and frail
Through darkness He is leading
To stand against His enemies
And enter life and healing
