(Tempo: Driving and rhythmic, around 110 BPM. Feel: A steady rock groove underneath soaring gospel vocals.)[Verse 1]I was walking through the valley, carrying a heavy loadStumbling in the shadows, on a dark and lonely roadThe weight of every failure, the chains of all my shameUntil I heard a whisper, and the power of His name(Oh, it’s a heavy weight to carry)But there’s a hill called Calvary![Chorus]And the sky went dark, the earth stood stillWhen the King of Glory climbed that hill!He took the nails, He took the treeHe paid the debt to set us free!Oh, shout it out, let the heavens ring—Death lost its sting! Death lost its sting!Through His sacrifice, we are washed as white as snow(Oh, the blood will flow)Yeah, at the cross![Verse 2]They mocked Him and they cursed Him, but He bore it with a graceLooking down in mercy, with a love upon His faceWith every drop of suffering, He washed away the fallHe could have called an army, but He gave it for us all(He gave it for us all)To break the chains of every soul![Chorus]When the sky went dark, the earth stood stillWhen the King of Glory climbed that hill!He took the nails, He took the treeHe paid the debt to set us free!Oh, shout it out, let the heavens ring—Death lost its sting! Death lost its sting!Through His sacrifice, we are washed as white as snow(Oh, the blood will flow)Yeah, at the crossIt is finished! (He declared!)The grave is empty! (He is there!)No more chains, no more nightWe are stepping in the light!(Drum roll building up into explosive guitar solo)One! Two! Three! Four[Chorus]When the sky went dark, the earth stood stillWhen the King of Glory climbed that hill!He took the nails, He took the treeHe paid the debt to set us free!Oh, shout it out, let the heavens ring—Death lost its sting! Death lost its sting!Through His sacrifice, we are washed as white as snow(Oh, the blood will flow)Yeah, at the cross![Outro]Yeah, He paid it all!At the cross!Washed as white as snow...(Guitars fade out with a single ringing piano chord)
