Oh, hallelujah, what a death

lyricist: Adapted
Composer: George Frederick Handel

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!

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!

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!

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!
