High Noon

High noon in the valley of the shadow
When the deep of the valley was bright
And the mouth of the tomb shouted glory, the Groom is alive!
So long, you wages of sin
Go on, don’t you come back again
I’ve been raised and redeemed, you’ve lost all your steam
To the victor of the battle
At high noon in the valley, in the valley of the shadow

Now the demons, they danced in the darkness
When that last ragged breath left His lungs
And they reveled and howled at the war that they thought they had won
But then in the dark of the grave, the stone rolled away
In the still of the dawn on the greatest of days

It was high noon in the valley of the shadow
When the shadows were shot through with light
Jesus took in that breath and shattered all death with His life
So long, you wages of sin
Go on don’t you come back again
I’ve been raised and redeemed, you’ve lost all your steam
To the victor of the battle
At high noon in the valley, in the valley of the shadow

Let the people rejoice
Let the heavens resound
Let the Name of Jesus who sought us and freed us forever ring out
All praise to the Fighter of the night, who rides on the light,
Whose blood is the grace of the God of the sky

At high noon in the valey of the shadow
When the shadows were shot through with light
When the mouth of the tomb shouted glory, the Groom is alive!
So long, you wages of sin
I said, go on, don’t you come back again
I’ve been raised and redeemed, all praise to the KING
The victor of the battle at high noon in the valley, in the valley of the shadow
In the valley of the shadow

Now it is finished
It is finished
