_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _
_ [A#m] _ What do you want to hear?
Come on, come on, [G#] what do you want to hear? _
[A#] What?
[D#m] Did we forget anything?
_ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [D] _
[Am] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ This [A] is the champion of our faith.
[F] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] The audience for the fight of the ages was assembled and in place.
The angels came in splendor from a star. _
[E] [A] The saints that had gone before were there.
Jeremiah, Enoch, Job.
They were singing the song of Zion on David's [F] harp.
_ [D] _ _ _ The [E] demons arrived, offensive and vile, cursing [Am] and blaspheming God.
[F] Followed by their [E] trophies, dead and gone.
_ [Am] Hitler, Napoleon, Pharaoh, Cimon, [Am] tormented, fenced, and grieved.
[F] And waiting for [E] their judgment. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Then a [C] chill swept through the [D#m] mammoth crowd and the demons squealed with glee
[C#] as a sorid, vulgar, repulsive essence was felt.
_ [D#m] Arrogantly prancing, hands held high, draped [C] in a sparkling [C#] shroud.
Trolled [A#] by demons, [C#] Satan [E] ascended from hell. _
_ _ [Dm] Then Satan [Am] cringed, sinners [Em] groaned, demons [Dm] reeled in pain
as a swell [Am] of power like silent thunder [F] rolled.
With a surge [Am] of light beyond intent, [Em]
[Dm] illuminating the universe [A#] in resplendent glory,
[C]
appeared the Son of [Am] God.
_ _ [G] _
[Dm] _ _ [A#] Let's hear it for Jesus, mighty warrior, [D] _
_ _ [Dm] dressed for battle.
[Am] _ _ [Em] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [A#] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ And a [F] persona, yes, extraordinaire, appeared in [E] center ring.
God the Father will oversee [F] the duel.
_ Opening [F] the book of life, each grandstand hushed in awe
[E] as majestically he [F] said, now, [Em] _ here's the [E] rules. _ _ _
[Am] We'll be wounded [Em] for their transgressions, bruised [Am] for iniquities.
When he said, [Em] by his stripes they're healed, the devil shook.
He screamed, sickness [Em] is my [F#] specialty, I hate [Am] that you [F] talk.
God said, you shut your face, I wrote the [Gm] book.
[Am] The _ _ Father looked at his only son and said, Jesus, [D] you know the rules.
Your blood will cleanse their [C] sin and calm their fears.
Then [F] he pointed his finger at Satan and said, and I know you know the rules
[C] because you've been twisting them to my people for years.
[Am] Satan cried, I'll kill the Christ, you will be all his fate.
The demons wheezed, _ Satan _
_ [G#m] jeered, _ Jesus _ _ said, _ [A#] go ahead, make my day.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ How many [E] want to see the devil get in [Am] there?
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ The devil was on and the devil [F#m] leaped in [E] fury.
With [A] all his, _ he came undone.
[E] _ [A] He threw his jabs of hate and lust, a stab of pride [F#m] and envy.
[A] But the hands that knew no sin blocked [F#m] every [E] one.
[D] Forty days and nights they [A] fought and Satan [D] couldn't touch them.
[C#m] Now the final [F#m] blow saved [C#m] for the [F#m] final round.
[C] Prophetically [Dm] Christ's hands came [C] down and [D] Satan [B] struck in vengeance.
The blow of death fell Jesus to the ground. _
_ [D] The devils roared in victory.
The saints shocked and [E] perplexed [A] as wounds appeared upon his hands and feet.
_ [F#m] Then Satan kicked him in his [B] side and [Bm] blood and water flowed.
And they waited [D#]
for the 10 count [A] of defeat.
_ God the father turned his head.
[F] _ His tears announcing Christ was [G] dead.
The 10 count would proclaim [E] the battle's end.
_ _ [A] And Satan trembled [F] through his sweat in unexpected horror.
Yet, [G] as God started to count.
I say, [E] _
hey wait.
Stop your counting. _
His eyes were on the seven.
His fingers were twitching.
His voice was like a man. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] He has risen.
_ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ He [E] has risen.
He is Lord.
[Am] Who came and is and ever is.
_ [F]
This ages and beyond.
[G] _ Voiced from [E] mountains.
Loud and strong.
_ [Am] Captivity _ [F] free.
Salvation both for you and me.
[G]
For Satan is defeated.
[E] And Jesus is, who is he?
The champion!
