Citipointe Worship's song reflects on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The lyrics begin by acknowledging personal sin and the cross, then move to the wonder of Christ's sacrifice and the promise of paradise. The chorus celebrates the Lamb of God slain and the King raised. The second verse emphasizes the love that held back angels and the finished work on the cross. The bridge declares the victory of the resurrection, leaving sin in the grave and giving believers freedom from shame and fear. The song is a declaration of salvation and hope in Christ's triumph over death.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

In my shame, I was lost

In my sin, built this cross

I was blind, I could not

See his face

But oh what wondrous reply

Came from arms stretched out wide

Soon you will be with me

In paradise


Chorus

Hallelujah

The lamb of God was slain

Hallelujah

The king of kings was raised


Verse 2

Oh what love filled his heart

He held back angels, breathed his last

It is done, it is done

As skies went dark

And oh what glory shall reign

On his return to raise the saints

When his brilliance and his power

Shall be displayed


Bridge instrumental


Bridge

As morning breaks, the son is raised

All my sin, left in the grave

The wretch I was, the weight I bore

Like the grave, is mine no more

As morning breaks, the son is raised

All my sin, left in the grave

No shame in life, no fear in death

In Christ I?ll rise, in Christ I live
