[Verse 1]
I aEmwoke to hear the jailer
Turn the Akey and push the door
Get Cout here, he shouted
But I sDtayed there on the floor
EmFrozen in the terror
That Arose and filled my brain
For I Cknew what they intended
DI could not face the Empain
[Verse 2]
Then Emsoldiers came into the cell
And they dragged me to the yard
They Athrew me down before a cross
And brought the whip down hard
BmCarry it, they shouted
As I struggled to my feet
I put Cmy shoulder under it
And Ddragged it to the street
I Emstumbled through a wall of screams
As they Adrove me through the gate
I couldC see the thousands lined the street
Their Dvoices filled with hate
Like a Emwolf pack in the night
That Amoves in for the kill Asus4 A
They Cclosed the gap in front of us
DAs we started up the Emhill
[Verse 4]
And it Emseemed I'd barely reached the top
As they grabbed me from behind
They Athrew the cross down under me
And tied the ropes that bind
The Bmarms close to the beams
As they nailed the feet and hands
And they Craised the cross up in the air
DAnd dropped it in it's stEmand
EmThrough a blur of pain
I saw the Across there next to mine
There were Cpeople all around it
So I Dlooked to read the sign Dsus4 D
It was Emnailed there up above His head
So the Aworld could see the news
The Cman who seemed so helpless there
Was the DKing of all the EmJews
[Verse 4]
And the Emcrowd that stood around his cross
Made jokes about his name
They Ashouted, laughed, and spat on him
So I joined in the game
I said, BmHey! If you're the King
Why don't You get us down from here
But the Ctaunt just sounded hollow
It DecDsus4hoed iDn my earEms
As He Emlooked at me with eyes
That seemed to Areach into my heart
They Cshone a light on all my lies
And Dtore my life apart
There was Emmore that lay behind that gaze
Then Asimply mud and clay Asus4 A
But Cknowing was too much for me D
I had to look awayEm
[Verse 5]
But I Emchanced another look at Him
While He was lookin' down
Where the Asoldiers who just crucified us
Drank there on the ground
And Bmalthough He spoke them quietly
Somehow his words came through
He said, CFather, please forgive them D
They don't know what they Emdo
And then as Emif they heard Him speakin'
The Acrowd began to roar
CWith the frenzy by the priests
Who Durged them on to more
But the Emworse the accusations
The Aplainer I could see
The Cguilt of the accusers
Not the DOne there next to mEme
[Verse 6]
But Emthe one on the other cross
Began to curse and swear
And his Avoice was filled with venom
As he hurled it through the air
All the Bmhorror that was in him
It laid his life to waste
Came Cout of every syllable
He Dflung in Jesus' face
EmJesus only looked at him
But Asomethin' rose inside o' me
In Cspite of all that watched us there
It Dcouldn't be denied
Because his Emrighteousness and innocence
Were Ashining bright and strong
I just Ccouldn't keep my silence
As that Dcursing still went on
[Verse 7]
I said, Emdon't you fear the wrath of God?
Even at the end?
You'll Acurse us both into the pit
Is that what you intend?
We're Bmonly getting what we're due
Send our whole lives long
But Cdon't you talk to Him that way D
Cause He's done nothin' EmwroDngEm
EmThen with all my courage
In a Avoice not my own
I Casked him, Lord remember me
When You Dcome into your throne Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
He Emanswered me and even then
His Alove was undisguised
He Csaid, before the sun will set today
You'll be with DMeDsus4 in paDsus2radiseD Em
[Verse 8]
The Emshouts and curses did not stop
Even Awhen the sunlight ceased
But Csomehow in the midst of it
My Dsoul had been releasedDsus4 Dsus2 D
Though the Emagony continued
It's Astill too small a price
To Cbe allowed to hear those words
To Ddie beside the EChrist

[Bridge 1]
Then Gdarkness changed to dawning
And I Cheard the sound of voices
The Aair was warm around me
I Dstood beside a stream
And GAbraham was speaking
CTo the multitudes before him
The unAfolding of the Answer
To our Dprayers and hopes and dreams
GThen far across the chasm
CCame a rumbling like the thunder
And the APrince Of Peace came shining
From His Dmouth the power screamed G
And the Gwalls and towers crumbled
And the Cgates of hell went under
A Athousand sang the victory
DWe have been redeemed
[Chorus]
GJesus is the Lord of all
CJesus is the Lord of all
AJesus is the Lord of all
DWe have been redeemed
[Chorus]
GJesus is the Lord of all
CJesus is the Lord of all
AJesus is the Lord of all
DWe have been redeemed
[Bridge 2]
GJoy, Cjoy, Ajoy, Djoy
[Chorus]
GJesus is the Lord of all
CJesus is the Lord of all
AJesus is the Lord of all
DWe have been redeemed G Gsus4 G
