Winter ending promised light but now we know the dark of night
To test our faith, test our might
To make it through the Spring

Just days ago he entered town palms and praises on the ground
Loud Hosannahs they did sound
For the one they called the King.

Chorus:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, your love and praises bring
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, for the one they called the King

Pontius said in a coward’s voice “Pick the one, make my choice
The thief will live, the other die
The one they call the King”

“Stuck on a cross his history a prophet shamed for Eternity
This Son of God will bow to me
The one they call the King”

Hallelujah chorus

His body taken from the wooden frame draped in cloth, robed in shame
Placed in a dark and lowly cave
The one they called the King

Soon days will pass his promise kept
His true disciples frightened yet will feel the power from on high
The one they called the King

Hallelujah chorus

As we live in fear we can’t forget He is Risen now, his promise kept
Our Lord, Our Saviour will not let
Us suffer more than He

Hold to the promise that he brings this Easter time our praises sing
Our faith our strength through the Son of God
The one we call the King

Hallelujah chorus

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, your love and praises bring
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, for the one we call the King

For the one we call the King.
