[Brian Johnson:]
The life You gave
Your body was broken
Your love poured out
You bled and You died for me
There on that cross
You breathed Your last as You were crucified
You gave it all for me
Hallelujah, what a Savior
Hallelujah, what a friend
Hallelujah, King forever
We thank You for the cross
There in the ground
Sealed in the darkness
Lifeless laid
The frame of the Father's Son
In agony
He watched His only Son be sacrificed
He gave it all for me
Hallelujah, what a Savior
Hallelujah, what a friend
Hallelujah, King forever
We thank You for the cross
[Jenn Johnson:]
But on that day
What seemed as the darkest hour
A violent hope
Broke through and shook the ground
And as You rose
The Light of all the world was magnified
As You rose in victory
Hallelujah, it is finished
Hallelujah, it is done
Hallelujah King forever
We thank You for the cross
Hallelujah, it is finished
Hallelujah, it is done
Hallelujah King forever
We thank You for the cross
We thank You for the cross
Yeah, yeah
All my sins are forgiven
You paid the ransom for me
Though our sins are scarlet
You have made us white as snow
Though our sins are scarlet
You have made us white as snow
