I was listening to my radio When something went wrong The voice of the announcer Suddenly came on He said, We interrupt this program With late breaking news Last night they arrested The King of the Jews He said, We take you now To Pilate's house Where Christ is on trial It sounded like the announcer Was wearing a smile As he described the accusations In the judgment hall And how Jesus just stood there Didn't say nothing at all Get ready everybody The judgment's coming down I held my breath I closed my eyes I didn't make a sound Jesus defeated, Was all that he said Guilty, convicted, And sentenced to d**h Soon it will be finished On a cross made of wood Looks like it's over for good Jesus defeated His next few words, I could hardly believe He said, We're standing here At Calvary's tree The sky has turned black Blood covers the land From the spear in His side And the nails in His hands Now some called Him a Savior Said He lived without sin Some said it did not Do much for him Some called him Messiah God's only son Others shook their heads
And said, The good die young Jesus defeated, Was all that he said Guilty, convicted, and now he is dead Yes, it is finished, On a cross made of wood Looks like it's over for good Jesus defeated Yeah, Jesus is defeated When you look at the grave Until you see that The stone's been rolled away Jesus is defeated When you look at all the pain He had to feel And then you read Isaiah 53 And it says that's the way We were healed And Jesus was defeated When you look at everything He went through And then you realize He went through it for me and you Things in the media They're not always what they seem Jesus is alive Do you know what that means? It means... Jesus defeated The power of d**h Oh yes, it happened just like He said He bore our sins On a cross made of wood He triumphed over evil for good And the one who built his kingdom On bondage and fear The one who k**ed the prophets, Left their families in tears, The father of lies, the author of sin Everybody this just in- It was him... That Jesus defeated!
