Swallowed into earth's dark womb
Death has triumphed
that's what they say;
But try to hold Him in the tomb
The Son of life
rose on the third day!
Look, the gates of hell are falling,
Crumbling from the inside out;
He's bursting through the bonds with laughter
Listen to the angels shout!
It is finished!!
He has done it
Life conquered death
Jesus Christ has won it!!
His plan of battle fooled them all
They lead Him off to
Golgotha to die;
But as He entered Hades hall,
He broke those hellish chains
with a mighty cry!!
Listen to the demons screaming
see Him bruise the serpent's head;
The prisoners of hell He's redeeming
All the power of death is dead!
Just look the gates of hell are falling
Crumbling from the inside out;
He's bursting through the bonds with laughter
Listen to the angels shout!
It is finished!!
He has done it
Life conquered death
Jesus Christ has won it!!
