[Verse 1]
  G                      Em
A crown of thorns placed on His head
   G                  Em
He knew that He would soon be dead
   C              D
He said, "Did you forget me,
       G         D
Father did you?"
     G               C      D
They nailed Him to a wooden cross
     Em                  C
Soon all the world would feel
the loss
   D               B7
Of Christ the King before His

   G                 Em
He hung His head and prepared to die

Then lifted His face up to the sky
       C           D
Said, "I am coming home now Father,
G       D
to you"
  G                   C     D
A reed which held His final sip
    Em            C
Was gently lifted to his lips
   D                  B7
He drank His last and gave His
        Em
soul to glory
     C           Em          C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

    G               Em
The soldier who had used his sword

To pierce the body of our Lord

our Savior"

[Verse 4]
     G                 Em
Took from his head the thorny crown
    G                Em
And wrapped him in a linen gown
     C                D
Then laid him down to rest
           G      D
inside the tomb
    G
The holes in his hands,
    C        D
his feet and side
    Em               C
Now in our hearts we know he died
   D               B7
To save us from ourselves,
        Em
oh Hallelujah
     C           Em          C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

      G             Em
Three days went by, again they came
   G                  Em
To move the stone, to bless the slain
     C             D
With oil and spice anointing
     G       D
Hallelujah
    G               C        D
But as they went to move the stone
     Em                 C
They saw that they were not alone

For Jesus Christ has risen,
