AS THE THUNDER ROLLED
AND THE LIGHTNING FLASHED,
THEIR DREAM'S LIE SHATTERED
ALL THEIR HOPE IS DASHED,

GOD'S SON HAD LEFT THEM
OR SO THEY THOUGHT,
AND AS THE STORM RAGED ON
THE BATTLE WAS FOUGHT,

SATAN BEGAN TO LAUGH
AT HIS WICKED SCHEME,
HE'D JUST KILLED JESUS
HIS LIFE-LONG DREAM,

THE SON OF GOD
NOW LIE'S IN A TOMB.
NO NEED TO WORRY
HE'LL BE RISING SOON,

FOR ON THE THIRD DAY
A TRUMPET IS HEARD,
RISE UP, MY SON
I'M TRUE TO MY WORD,

FOR WHAT I HAVE SPOKEN
WILL I NOT PERFORM,
I PROMISED YOU VICTORY
AS YOU BATTLED THE STORM,

THE BATTLE WAS WON
AND YOU DID IT SO WELL,
YOU DELIVERED MY PEOPLE
FROM THE BONDAGE OF HELL,
ALL POWER IN HEAVEN
IS GIVEN UNTO YOU THIS DAY,
MY PEOPLE ARE FREE......
YOUR BLOOD PAVED THE WAY,

HEAVENS' DOOR'S ARE OPENED
FOR ALL TO COME IN,
WHEN THEY CALL ON YOUR NAME
FOR REDEMPTION FROM SIN
