Couplet 1

Christ the perfect sacrifice
He was God before all time
First a babe of virgin birth
Then a child with pain like mine
See Him opening the scroll
See Him be obedient still
Christ the perfect sacrifice
Lived to do the Father’s will

Couplet 2

Christ the perfect sacrifice
Not a fault was found in Him
Yet He stood condemned to die
Gave Himself for sinful man
Hear His cries of anguish ring
Hear forgiveness on His breath
He who is the wounded King
Chose to close His eyes in death

Couplet 3

Christ the perfect sacrifice
Wrapped and laid within a tomb
Heavy stone would seal the door
Darkness fell with deepest gloom
Then the morning light would break
Then the triumph song was born
As He walked out of the grave
On that glorious Easter morn

Refrain

Hallelujah Hallelujah
Blessed Savior we adore
Hallelujah Hallelujah
He shall reign forevermore

Couplet 4

Christ the perfect sacrifice
Lamb of God who wears the crown
Now he holds a different scroll
There my name is written down
Let the hallelujahs rise
All ye ransomed from the fall
Christ the perfect sacrifice
He is worthy of it all

Refrain

Hallelujah Hallelujah
Blessed Savior we adore
Hallelujah Hallelujah
He shall reign forevermore
