Lyrics
(Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh!)
(Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh!)
A serpent whispered in my ear, said, “Boy, you’re much too lost to save!”
But the Son of Man He split the veil, and left my shackles in the grave!
I was drowning in my ruin, I was wallowing in sin,
’Til mercy stormed the gates of hell and dragged me back again!
Oh, drink up, ye wretched! The cup of grace is poured!
The cross has shattered every chain—
We belong to Christ the Lord!
So raise a toast to the blood-washed throng,
To the kingdom come, to the battle won!
The grave is hollow, the curse undone!
Sing loud, ye saints, sing on!
(Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh!)
Revel in the grace that found us!
(Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh!)
Death has lost its hold around us!
Once I drank from poisoned wells, and stumbled through the night,
But now I feast at heaven’s table, in the Lamb’s unending light!
Let the scoffers scoff, let the tyrants sneer, let ‘em mock our joy in vain—
We have danced upon our shackles, and we’ll never wear ‘em again!
Oh, drink up, ye wretched! The cup of grace is poured!
The tomb is empty, death is slain—
We belong to Christ the Lord!
So raise a toast to the blood-washed throng,
To the kingdom come, to the battle won!
The grave is hollow, the curse undone!
Sing loud, ye saints, sing on!
“You turned my mourning into dancing!”
“Loosed my rags and clothed me bright!”
“Now my soul will sing forever—”
“Praises to the Lord of Life!”
So raise a toast to the blood-washed throng,
To the kingdom come, to the battle won!
The grave is hollow, the curse undone!
Sing loud, ye saints, sing on!
(Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh!)
(Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh-ohhh!)
