[Intro]
F#
[Verse 1]
F# G#m
The life You gave, Your body was broken
B
Your love poured out, You bled and You died for me
D#m C# B
There on that cross, You breathed Your last as you were crucified
You gave it all for me
[Chorus 1]
B G#m F#
Hallelujah, what a Savior
B G#m F#
Hallelujah, what a friend
B G#m F#
Hallelujah, King forever
B G#m F#
We thank You for the cross
[Instrumental]
F#/// //G#m/ B/// D#m/// B/
[Verse 2]
F# G#m
There in the ground, sealed in the darkness
B
Lifeless laid, the frame of the Father's son
D#m C# A#m B
In agony, He watched His only Son be sacrificed
He gave it all for me
[Verse 3]
F# G#m
But on that day, what seemed as the darkest hour
B C#
A violent hope, broke through and shook the ground
D#m C# A#m B
And as You rose, The Light of all the world was magnified
C#
And You rose in victory
[Chorus 2]
B G#m F#
Hallelujah, it is finished
B G#m F#
Hallelujah, it is done
B G#m F#
Hallelujah King forever
B G#m F#
We thank you for the cross
[Big Crashes]
F#/// //G#m/ B/// D#m/// B/F#/
[End tag]
B G#m F#
And though our sins are scarlet
B G#m F#
You have made us white as snow
