1. In the dark-ness we were wait-ing
            A             D
   With-out hope with-out light
             D/F#             G
   Till from hea-ven You came run-ning
             A              D

   To ful-fil the law and pro-phets
        A                D
   To a vir-gin came the Word
          D/F#               G
   From a throne of end-less glo-ry
              A                   D

        God of glo-ry    Ma-jes-ty
        Bm7        G                 A            D

2. To re-veal the king-dom com-ing
          A               D
   And to re-con-cile the lost
         D/F#               G
   To re-deem the whole cre-a-tion
           A                D
   You did not des-pise the cross
   
       D/F#          G
   For e-ven in Your suf-fer-ing
           A             D
   You saw to the oth-er side
             D/F#            G
   Know-ing this was our sal-va-tion
               A                     D 
   Je-sus |2⁄4 for our sake You |4⁄4 died |  %  |

3. And the morn-ing that You rose
          A                D
   All of heav-en held its breath
             Bm                  G
   Till that stone was moved for good
           A                   D 
   For the Lamb had con-quered death
   
           Bm                   G
   And the dead rose from their tombs
           A                D
   And the an-gels stood in awe
           Bm                 G
   For the souls of all who’d come
          A              D
   To the Fa-ther are re-stored
   

           D/F#                 G
4. And the Church of Christ was born
            A               D
   Then the Spi-rit lit the flame
            D/F#             G
   Now this gos-pel truth of old
             A               D 
   Shall not kneel shall not faint
   
          D/F#             G
   By His blood and in His Name
          A             D
   In His free-dom I am free
           D/F#           G
   For the love of Je-sus Christ
                A                D
   Who has |2⁄4 re-su-rrec-ted | me... Oh | Oh... |
