Amen.
The cross has the final word
The cross has the final word
Sorrow may come in the darkest night
But the cross has the final word
There's nothing stronger
Nothing higher
Nothing greater than the name of Jesus
All the honor All the power
All the glory to the name of Jesus
The cross has the final word
The cross has the final word
Evil may put up it's strongest fight
But the cross has the final word
There's nothing stronger
Nothing higher
Nothing greater than the name of Jesus
All the honor All the power
All the glory to the name of Jesus
The cross has the final word
The cross has the final word
The savior has come with the morning light
The cross has the final word
Oh... Oh... All glory and honor is yours
Oh... Oh...All glory and honor is yours
Is yours
The cross has the final word
The cross has the final word
He traded death for eternal life
The cross has the final word
The cross has the final word
The cross has the final word
The savior has come with the morning light
