The soldier who had used his sword, To pierce the body of our Lord
Said truly this is Jesus Christ our Savior
He looked with fear upon his sword, Then turned to face his Christ and Lord
Fell to his knees crying Hallelujah
Took from his head the thorny crown, And wrapped him in a linen gown
And laid him down to rest inside the tomb
Holes in his hands, his feet and side, Now in our hearts we know he died
To save us from ourselves oh hallelujah
Three days went by again they came, To move the stone to bless the slain
With oil and spice anointing hallelujah
But as they went to move the stone, They saw that they were not alone
But Jesus Christ has risen Hallelujah
