A [F] crown of thorns placed [Dm] on his head,
He [F] knew that He would [Dm] soon be dead,
He [Bb] said "Did You for-[C]get me, Father, [F] did [C] You?"
They [F] nailed him to a [Bb] wooden [C] cross,
Soon [Dm] all the world would [Bb] feel the loss,
Of [C] Christ the King, be-[A7]fore His Halle-[Dm]lujah,
Halle- [Bb] lujah, Halle-[Dm] lujah,
Halle- [Bb] lujah, Halle [F] lu--- ---[C] jah [F]
He [F] hung His head, and pre-[Dm]pared to die,
Then [F] lifted His face up [Dm] to the sky,
Said [Bb] I am coming [C] home, now Father [F] to [C] You,
A [F] reed, which held His [Bb] final [C] sip,
Was [Dm] gently lifted [Bb] to His lips,
He [C] drank his last, and [A7] gave his soul to [Dm] glory.
Halle- [Bb] lujah, Halle- [Dm] lujah,
Halle- [Bb] lujah, Halle [F] lu--- ---[C] jah [F]
The [F] soldier, who had [Dm] used his sword,
to [F] pierce the body [Dm] of our Lord,
Said, [Bb] "Truly, this was [C] Jesus Christ, our [F] Saviour [C] ya.
He [F] looked with fear up-[Bb]on his [C] sword,
Then [Dm] turned to face His [Bb] Christ and [C] Lord,
Fell [C] to His knees [A7] crying Halle-[Dm]lujah,
Halle- [Bb] lujah, Halle- [Dm] lujah,
Halle- [Bb] lujah, Halle [F] lu--- ---[C] jah [F]
Took [F] from His head the [Dm] thorny crown,
And [F] wrapped Him in a [Dm] linen gown,
Then [Bb] laid Him down to [C] rest inside the [F] tomb [C]
The[F] holes in His [Bb] hand, His feet [C] and side,
Now [Dm] in our hearts, we [Bb] know He died,
To [C] save us from our-[A7]selves, Oh Halle-[Dm]lujah
Halle- [Bb] lujah, Halle- [Dm] lujah,
Halle- [Bb] lujah, Halle [F] lu--- ---[C] jah [F]
Three [F] days went by, a-[Dm]gain they came,
To [F] move the stone, to [Dm] bless the slain,
With [Bb] oil and spice, a-[C]nointing Halle-[F]lujah [C]
But[F] as they went to [Bb] move the [C] stone
They [Dm] saw that they were [Bb] not
a-[C]lone, for [A7] Jesus Christ has risen, Halle-[Dm]lujah
Halle- [Bb] lujah, Halle- [Dm] lujah,
Halle- [Bb] lujah, Halle [F] lu--- ---[C] jah [F]
