Where, O Death, Is Your Victory? - The War Scroll

Verse 1: On a pale horse rides the shadow of Death, Hades follows close, bearing no breath. Chains of sin, their cold grip remains, Yet Christ descends, breaking their reign. "The last enemy to be destroyed is Death," "For the wages of sin is the soul’s last breath." But Life eternal speaks a louder decree, "O Death, where is your sting? You’ll bow to Me!" --- Chorus: Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Grave, is your sting? By the blood of the Lamb, Our freedom we sing. No chain can bind, no fear remain, For the Risen One has conquered the pain. --- Verse 2: From Wisdom’s scroll, death came through sin, A serpent’s lie let darkness in. But Hades’ gates shall not prevail, For Christ arose and split the veil. "He took the keys of Death and Hades," "And freed the captives from their chains." No longer does the grave confine, "I am the Life, and the Victory is Mine!" --- Chorus: Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Grave, is your sting? By the blood of the Lamb, Our freedom we sing. No chain can bind, no fear remain, For the Risen One has conquered the pain. --- Bridge: "Death and Hades were cast into the fire," "The former things now fade, they expire." "Neither death nor life can separate," "From the love of God, so great, so great." Lift your voice, redeemed, unbound, The victory shout, a heavenly sound. --- Chorus: Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Grave, is your sting? By the blood of the Lamb, Our freedom we sing. No chain can bind, no fear remain, For the Risen One has conquered the pain. --- Outro: "For God’s dwelling is now with man," "No more tears, no sorrowed hand." Death defeated, Hades undone, The battle is over—the Kingdom has come.
