Hallelujah


Hallelujah, He is Risen, who is the first and last
Beyond the valley of the shadow he has surely passed
He lives, he lives who once was dead
We sing hallelujah to our God  who bled.

His tomb is now empty for death held Him in vain
So shall the tombs of them be, who in Him remain
Those who died with Him who died upon the tree
Shall surely rise again to live righteously.

And death cannot stifle immortal breath
The grave’s power  has died with death
He died for all so that those who live begin
To no longer live for self but rather Live for Him. 

Our sure response is Holy Jubilation
A joyous song  now fills us with elation
He is the sacrifice of expiation
He is the cause of all our celebration

The Lord sits on His throne in the heavenlies 
He is reigning according to His sovereign decree. 
Ruling o’er the cosmos  and each soul
He is working out all things  under His control

According to the counsel of His will (Eph. 1:11), 
Even the hard things as he writes the story
Directing them to our final good 
Always  and ever to His final glory. 

Hallelujah, His kingdom will have no end.
Hallelujah, His kingdom will have no end.
Hallelujah, His kingdom will have no end.
Hallelujah, His kingdom will have no end.

Hallelujah, He is Risen, who is the first and last
Beyond the valley of the shadow he has surely passed
He lives, he lives who once was dead
We sing hallelujah to our God  who bled.
We sing Hallelujah to our Living Head!
