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

There's nothing stronger
Nothing higher
There's nothing greater than the name of Jesus

All the honor
All the power
All the glory to the name of Jesus

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

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

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

Whoh-oh-oh
Whoh-oh-oh
All glory & honor is Yours
Whoh-oh-oh
Whoh-oh-oh
All glory & honor is Yours

Is Yours!

The cross has the final word
The cross has the final word
He traded death for eternal life
The cross has the final word
(Oh, nothing higher)

Oh, the cross has the final word
(Nothing greater)
The cross has the final word
(All the power)
The Savior has come with the morning light
The cross has the final word
