The cross has the final word

The cross has the final word

Sorrow may come in the darkest night

But the cross has the final word


The cross has the final word

The cross has the final word

Evil may put up its strongest fight

But the cross has the final word


The cross has the final word

The cross has the final word

The Savior has come with the morning light

The cross has the final word


The cross has the final word

The cross has the final word

He traded death for eternal life

The cross has the final word


There?s nothing stronger

Nothing higher

Nothing greater than the name of Jesus


All the honor

All the power

All the glory to the name of Jesus
