They chose a murderer
They killed a King
They'd rather have an evil doer
Than be led by a righteous King
They cast Him off
Even to the very last
His closest friends stood afar off
Yet He did not yield to the last
They whipped Him
And mocked Him
Till the skies dim
They refused to serve Him
Till on that cross
As Jesus died
The thief overwhelm by the love on the cross
With Him died
Till on that cross
When Jesus was pierced
The centurion looked upon the cross
And saw His loving face without a hatred fierce
That chaotic day
Ended with tears
His life He lay
To be painfully pierce
He gave His life
All because of love
To offer us eternal life
So that we may abide in His love
And on that third and glorious day
When the women came
His body in the grave no longer lay
For He has risen all the same
Jesus has risen
He rose for me
Our lives are turned
Because of the Light we now see
Jesus lives
He lives forevermore
And to everyone who believes
Live forevermore
Jesus ascended
He ascended to the Father
He took all our pain and hurts
And He's now with the Father
Jesus is returning
I know He's returning
Jesus is coming
I know for me He's coming
