There was darkness on the hillside
Mercy hanging on a tree
There my Jesus laid His life down
And He did so willingly.
He was bruised for my transgressions
Buried in a borrowed tomb
Heaven watched in holy reverence
As He shattered death and gloom
Jesus, worthy Lamb of heaven
Jesus, risen from the grave
On Good Friday love was given
Easter morning, hope was raised
We will sing the cross behind us
We will sing the empty tomb
Christ our Savior, King forever
Conquered death, makes all things new
Hands once pierced are now exalted
Death has lost its final claim
Sin is broken, fear is silenced
By the power of Jesus’ name
Now the church becomes a witness
To the triumph of the Son
Every nation, tribe, and tongue cries out
Hallelujah, Christ has won
Jesus, worthy Lamb of heaven
Jesus, risen from the grave
On Good Friday love was given
Easter morning, hope was raised
We will sing the cross behind us
We will sing the empty tomb
Christ our Savior, King forever
Conquered death, makes all things new
Let the lost come home forgiven
Let the weary find their peace
Let the chains of night be broken
In the light of Calvary
And the same Lord who was buried
Now enthroned at God’s right hand
Risen Savior, reigning Jesus
In Your victory we stand
Jesus, worthy Lamb of heaven
Jesus, risen from the grave
On Good Friday love was given
Easter morning, hope was raised
We will sing the cross behind us
We will sing the empty tomb
Christ our Savior, King forever
Conquered death, makes all things new
Hallelujah to the Savior
Hallelujah to the King
Hallelujah, Christ is risen
Your praises we will sing
