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!

 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!

 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!

 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!
