Defeated
|
|
I was listening to my radio
|
When something went wrong
|
The voice of the announcer
|
Suddenly came on
|
He said we interrupt this program
|
With late breaking news
|
Last night they arrested
|
The King of the Jews
|
|
He said we take you now to Pilate's house
|
Where Christ is on trial
|
It sounded like the announcer
|
Was wearing a smile
|
As he described the accusations
|
In the judgment hall
|
And how Jesus just stood there
|
Didn't say nothing at all
|
Get ready everybody
|
The judgment¡¯s coming down
|
I held my breath
|
I closed my eyes
|
I didn't make a sound
|
|
Jesus defeated
|
Was all that he said
|
Guilty convicted and sentenced to death
|
Soon it will be finished on a cross made of wood
|
Looks like it's over for good
|
Jesus defeated
|
|
His next few words
|
I could hardly believe¡¦He said
|
We're standing here at Calvary's tree
|
The sky has turned black
|
Blood covers the land
|
From the spear in his side
|
And the nails in his hands
|
|
Now some called him a Savior
|
Said he lived without sin
|
Some said it did not do much for him
|
Some called him Messiah
|
God's only son
|
Others shook their heads
|
And said the good die young
|
|
Jesus defeated
|
Was all that he said
|
Guilty convicted and now he is dead
|
Yes it is finished on a cross made of wood
|
Looks like it's over for good
|
Jesus defeated
|
|
*Spoken¡¦
|
|
"Yeah, Jesus is defeated when you look at the grave
|
Until you see that the stone's been rolled away
|
Jesus is defeated when you look at all the pain he had to feel
|
And then you read Isaiah 53 and it says that's the way we were healed
|
And Jesus was defeated when you look at everything he went through
|
And then you realize he went through it for me and you Things in the media, they're not always what they seem
|
Jesus is alive¡¦do you know what that means?"
|
|
It means¡¦
|
Jesus defeated
|
The power of death
|
Oh yes it happened just like he said
|
He bore our sins on a cross made of wood
|
He triumphed over evil for good
|
|
And the one who built his kingdom on bondage and fear
|
The one who killed the prophets left their families in tears
|
The father of lies the author of sin
|
Everybody this just in
|
It was him¡¦.
|
That Jesus defeated!
