See Him now, the King of heaven
Son of God, enthroned above
Heavy cross upon His shoulders
Carried for us, carried for us
See Him now, our King surrendered
Final word of perfect love
Hear His cry, "Father, forgive them"
Spoken for us, spoken for us
When He said, "It is finished"
Oh our hope had just begun
The grave has lost its hold
Arise the stone is gone
Our God reigns forevermore
All praise to Him belongs
Lift high His name alone
Jesus came, paid it all
Then He rose, then He rose
Now we rise by His spirit
In His name we overcome
All our hope, in this same power
Living in us, living in us
For our sin is defeated
Oh the war has now been won
The grave has lost its hold
Arise the stone is gone
Our God reigns forevermore
All praise to Him belongs
Lift high His name alone
Jesus came, paid it all
Then He rose, then He rose
Death, lay your weapons down
Sin, you're defeated now
The stone is rolled away
Our God reigns
Crown, Him with many crowns
Soon, every knee will bow
The stone is rolled away
Our God reigns
Death, lay your weapons down
Sin, you're defeated now
The stone is rolled away
Our God reigns
Crown Him with many crowns
Soon, every knee will bow
The stone is rolled away
Our God reigns
The grave has lost its hold
Arise the stone is gone
Our God reigns forevermore
All praise to Him belongs
Lift high His name alone
Jesus came, paid it all
Then He rose, then He rose
