Beyond this lifetime
Beyond this darkness there's light
Your cross is shining
So people open your eyes
The cross stands above it all
Burning bright in this life
The cross towers over it all
One hope, one Deliverer
Savior reigning high above it all
Above it all
These chains are breaking
Your love shaking us free
A great awakening
This world will finally see
Christ has overcome
It is finished, He has won
Christ has overcome
We're standing strong
