A crown of thorns placed on his head
He knew that He would soon be dead,
He said "Did you forget me, Father did you?"
They nailed him to a wooden cross
Soon all the world would feel the loss,
Of Christ the King before us Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

He hung his head and prepared to die
Then lifted his face up to the sky,
Said "I am coming home now, Father to you."
A reed which held his final sip
Was gently lifted to his lips,
He drank his last and gave his soul to Glory.

Chorus

The soldier who had used his sword
To pierce the body of our Lord,
Said truly this was Jesus Christ our Savior
He looked with fear upon his sword,
Then turned to face his Christ the Lord
Fell to his knees crying Hallelujah

Chorus

Took from his head the thorny crown
And wrapped him in a linen gown,
Then layed him down to rest inside the tomb
The holes in His hands, His feet, and side,
Now in our hearts we know he died
To save us from ourselves, Oh Hallelujah!

Chorus

Three days went by, again they came
To move the stone to bless the slain,
With oil and spice anointing Hallelujah
But as they went to move the stone
They saw that they were not alone
For Jesus Christ has Risen, Hallelujah!

Chorus
