Sweet Victory

Twisted thorns, a mocking crown Symbol of a fallen earth Son of Man, you came down To raise us up by breaking Eden's curse A purple robe, a mocking sign Symbol of our Heavenly King Royal blood, from David's line Our High Priest forever reigning You are reigning When all is said, when all is done The battle fought and the victory won O who am I, that for my sake You would take frail flesh and die A whipping post, a cross of wood Symbols of the world's rejection But there's salvation in your blood And there is triumph in your resurrection With your last breath, the earth, it shook and trembled The powers of darkness in the air assembled Skies darkened as Satan crumbled Tombs were opened as the thunder rumbled Sweet Victory O what a mystery That you would die for me My light in the darkness
