Your body was broken
Your body was beaten
King of all heaven crucified
You were forgotten
You were forsaken
Beautiful Saviour left to die
There You carried all the weight of the world
On the cross You gave it all
Wrapped in darkness all alone in the grave
Now the stone lies rolled away
Christ is risen, death is beaten
Christ You overcame
It is finished, hallelujah
Christ will come again
With power and glory
Every soul set free
King of all heaven raised to life
Forever our Champion
Forever our anthem
Beautiful Saviour lifted high
We praise the King of glory
We’re crying holy is the Lord
Forever He is mighty
We’re crying holy is the Lord
We’re crying holy is the Lord
