Verse 1: Oh, hallelujah, what a death Christ died upon the cross! Not only was He dying there But everything that death did share: God was included too, All men with me and you— Oh hallelujah, for such a cross! Verse 2: Oh, praise the Lord, man died in God And to an end was brought! Now from this man I'm wholly free For God has terminated me! Oh, what a wondrous death, Oh, what a wondrous death; Oh, hallelujah, for such a death! Verse 3: Oh, praise the Lord, God died in man, In man to be released. The grain of wheat fell to the ground, And now a multitude is found Filled with the life of God, Filled with the life of God; Oh, hallelujah, for such a life! Verse 4: Lord, how we praise You for Your cross, Your all-inclusive death! The center of the universe, It has untold, eternal worth! Lord, how we love Your cross, Lord, how we love Your cross; Oh, hallelujah, for such a cross!
