Oh, Risen Lord, what love divine,
That you would conquer death and time.
Not even grave could hold you down,
Not even hell could win this round.
For as you promised days before,
The broken temple was restored.
Your glorious presence dwells in me,
And now all nations join to sing.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound,
Amazing love, now us, surround.
Your risen body raised for me,
Bids all creation, return to thee.

A Good Friday Hymn
Oh, my pierced Lord, what love divine?
That you would give Your life for mine.
Lord, in my place You placed your life,
To pay for Grace at such high price.
For now the law has been fulfilled,
All sacrifices been revealed.
Your covenant has been made new,
and now all nations sing for You.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound,
Amazing blood now pouring down.
Your broken body, broke for me
Bids all creation, return to thee!
That you would give Your life for mine.
Lord, in my place You placed your life,
To pay for Grace at such high price.
For now the law has been fulfilled,
All sacrifices been revealed.
Your covenant has been made new,
and now all nations sing for You.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound,
Amazing blood now pouring down.
Your broken body, broke for me
Bids all creation, return to thee!
