There's no story we'd rather be telling But that God came Himself for His own He declared "It is finished!" on Calvary Bore the wrath we deserved all alone There's no story so timely and lasting But that Christ condescended to save The will of the Father accomplished Our path to redemption He paved Buried, dead within the rock In the calm before the wake His heel has crushed the serpent's head His victory was gained When he rose up from the grave Defeating Satan, sin, and death as our forever "Amen" Now we rise just the same Our redemption is claimed, and the song of every saint Is that He rose up from the grave There's no story compared to the gospel There's no truth that we should hold so dear As Christ glorified by redeeming The distant and drawing us near Hallelujah the grave is now empty The stone rolled away from the tomb We were beggars and thieves, now we're pardoned We've been ransomed from sorrow and doom Buried, dead within the rock In the calm before the wake His heel has crushed the serpent's head His victory was gained When he rose up from the grave Defeating Satan, sin, and death as our forever "Amen" Now we rise just the same Our redemption is claimed, and the song of every saint Is that He rose up from the grave So rejoice in this story so timeless In the hope that is found in His word For the grace of His glory now drives us The most glorious truth ever heard
