lyrics

There has come a deliverer
The Ancient of days
who has prepared a way
for all that’s crooked to be straight
The word in flesh He dwelt with us
in bone & blood in ash and dust
Oh death tell me where’s your sting
you will not have the victory
For one has given Peace
To all who will believe To all who will believe.

Hearts of fathers will be turned unto their children
and the hearts of children to their fathers.
Beauty for ashes is the scandalous exchange
He took the penalty of what was justly due to my name
And now the valleys of dry bones will rise and walk again
The Word has come and is and will be true joy for every man.
