When I look back to the hill at calvary Little did they know that was His vict'ry Glory to the risen king All was not lost that day as they planned They killed the son of God, Not just a man Glory to the risen king I am overwhelmed by you My King, My God How can this be? That you would sacrifice it all for me You left your throne Laid down your crown And gave your life To save a wretch like me The cross could not contain the life that He brings Sacrifice made a way for me to live free Glory to the risen King You are my Lord and I will sing for all of my days Songs of love, and joy and peace and songs of your praise Glory to the risen king Let the sound of the praises ring My King, My God How can this be? That you would sacrifice it all for me You left your throne Laid down your crown And gave your life To save a wretch like me My God, How can this be? You died upon that tree You defeated death And did it all for me My King, My God How can this be? That you would sacrifice it all for me You left your throne Laid down your crown And gave your life To save a wretch like me My King, My God How can this be? That you would sacrifice it all for me You left your throne Laid down your crown You gave your life To save a wretch like Me You gave your life To save a wretch like me You are my Lord and I will sing for all of my days Songs of love, and joy and peace and songs of your praise Glory to the risen king
