Christ conquered death and cancelled sin, Ascended to the Father's throne Then sent His Spirit like the wind To draw us in, to lead us home And now Hell's stronghold on the earth Is plundered by the risen Lord And powerless, the demons roar When souls are fed the Living Word No force can stop the spreading Church. No foe can stem the rising tide Of those alive in Second Birth Through Him who lives, though crucified Still rising tide, still flowing free Bursts the dam the devil raised And surging on to victory Christ the champion be praised. King of Kings and Lord of Lords He will come down to earth again. And love will cover all the world In the kingdom without end
