Death of Death
Lyrics
VERSE
God and man were crucified
The day the Promised One had died
It seemed that heaven’s love had lost
As Jesus hung up on the cross
His broken body laid to rest
As earth was filled with hopelessness
Til the Son of Man began to wake
And the tomb became an empty grave
CHORUS
It was the death of death
When You rose to life
When the dark surrendered
To the Risen light
Oh praise the Savior
Jesus Christ
It was the death of death and our victory
VERSE 2
The war is won, the work is done
Hope for all the world has come
The Victor never lost His crown
Cause hell and grave can’t hold Him down
Hell and grave can’t hold Him down
CHORUS 2
It was greatest gift
Your life for mine
Fear is finished
My future bright
You gave it all
My heart the prize
It was the death of death and our victory
It was the death of death and our victory
REPRISE
Glory and power
The highest praise
Blessing and honor
Behind The Music
The Apostle Paul explains that the price for our sin should be death, but that Jesus paid our debt with His death on the cross. He tells us as much in Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” When Christ rose from the grave three days later, He conquered death. But Jesus didn’t just defeat death and the grave. He also defeated all things that cause death in our lives. Fear, anxiety, trials, struggles—they’re all temporary because of Jesus’ sacrifice. With Him, we can walk in victory every day of our lives.
