Music and words by Brooke Ligertwood, Jason Ingram and Scott Ligertwood
In the darkness we were waiting,
Without hope, without light,
Till 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 endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt.
Praise the Father, praise the Son,
Praise the Spirit, three in one.
God of glory, majesty,
Praise forever to the King of kings.
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile 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
Till that stone was moved for good,
For the Lamb had conquered death.
And the dead rose from their tombs,
And the angels 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, shall not faint.
By His blood and in His name,
In His freedom I am free,
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me.
Praise forever to the King of kings.
