In the darkness we were waiting,
without hope, without light
'Til from Heaven You came running,
there was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfill the law and prophets,
to a virgin came the word
From a throne of end less glory,
To reveal the kingdom coming
and to re concile the lost
To redeem the whole creation,
You did not despise the cross
For even in Your suffering,
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation,
Jesus for our sake You died
And the morning that You rose,
all of Heaven held its breath
'Til that stone was moved for good,
for the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs,
and the an gels stood in awe
For the souls of all who'd come,
to the Father are restored
And the church of Christ was born
then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old,
shall not kneel and shall not faint
And by His blood and in His name,
For the love of Jesus Christ
