Story Behind The Song

Perspective from the one who carried the cross for Jesus. The story of the crucifixion, resurrection and victory in Christ.

Lyrics

I saw a man hanging on a tree
They said He was the Son of God
Then someone said He was dying
Is this the One or is He not

They took Him down off the cross, yeah
And placed Him in this tomb
He spoke so boldly of His kingdom
Now I wonder is it true

He always walked in victory
He said He was the chosen Lamb
He always spoke of mysteries
Said His Father was the great I Am

Ooh, selah, selah
Ooh, selah
Ooh, selah, selah
Ooh, selah

I heard a woman she was crying
"Where have you taken my Lord?"
I saw the tomb, it was empty
And hope begins to rise once more

Ooh, selah, selah
Ooh, selah
Ooh, selah, selah
Ooh, selah

I heard some people, they were talking
They said they'd seen Him, He was alive
His followers claimed they had witnessed
The rapture of this Jesus through the sky

Ooh, selah, selah
Ooh, selah

A fire started in Jerusalem
Three thousand people had received
The promise of this Jesus to victory
To anyone who would believe
The door to God's throne is now open
We're bonded in His love
We'll spend eternity with this Jesus
Who gave Himself for us.

He always walks in victory
Said He is the Holy One
Throughout all of man's history
Almighty God has won!

Now we can walk in God's victory
Through Jesus Christ, God's Son
It's settled throughout all eternity
Our mighty God has won!

Our God reigns (8X)
