Verse 1

The earth shook in agony, the rocks split in pain.

The sky abandoned light, as the Lamb of God was slain.

Creation wept in sorrow when the Maker breathed His last.

A sacrifice of love to bridge the canyon sin had cast.

Pre-Chorus

But oh, He is alive again.

Hell is trampled, the battle is done.

Chorus

Messiah overcame, defeated the grave.

To Jesus our King, all glory and praise!

Messiah overcame, forever to reign.

He’s risen indeed, oh come and see!

Messiah overcame.

Chorus

And though we were the villain still, our hero paid the cost.

The Savior bruised and torn, all to wear the sinner’s cross.

He walked the road before us, for Hell was in our path.

He bore the wounds of sin, crushed by the weight of holy wrath.

Pre-Chorus

But oh, He is alive again!

Death is swallowed, the victory won!

Chorus

Messiah overcame, defeated the grave.

To Jesus our King, all glory and praise!

Messiah overcame, forever to reign.

He’s risen indeed, oh come and see!

Bridge:

Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Hallelujah, what a King!

Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Hallelujah, what a King!

Chorus
Messiah overcame, forever to reign.

He’s risen indeed, oh come and see!

He defeated the grave.

To Jesus our King, all glory and praise!

Messiah overcame, forever to reign.

He’s risen indeed, oh come and see.

Messiah overcame!
