Since first writing the song, I've tweaked the tune and the words in an attempt to make the song more suitable for corporate worship. If you are interested in trying out the song at your church, please contact me via email: welshpoolcommunitychurch@gmail.com. I'm happy to send the words with guitar chords, and would be grateful for any feedback.
He agonised at Gethsemane
He sweated blood as he prayed for me
Then angels came to soothe the Son
As he bravely said: "Your will be done"
A gentle kiss used to betray
His closest friends all ran away
The hammers fell; his foes rejoiced
But when he died, it was his choice
Hallelujah! Glory be to God the Son, our Saviour!
Thank you, Lord, for all you've done to rescue us!
Oh Jesus! We can't grasp what you went through!
We just stand in awe of you!
The sky went dark; the ground turned red
His cry rang out; he bowed his head
A lonely man on a bloodstained tree
The Son of God dying for me
Hallelujah! Glory be to God the Son, our Saviour!
Thank you, Lord, for all you've done to rescue us!
Oh Jesus! We can't grasp what you went through!
We just stand in awe of you!
The third day came, his tomb was checked
Our hearts now rise 'cause we know what's next!
Death overturned! An empty grave!
Now the Son of God lives to save!
Now the Son of God lives to save!
Hallelujah! Glory be to God the Son, our Saviour!
Thank you, Lord, for all you've done to rescue us!
Oh Jesus! As you rose, so we'll rise too
Then we'll look in awe at you
How we'll look in awe at you!
