Verse:
                   E                          G#m7
There in crown of thorn and thistle
         H 
The King of Jews was found
               E                          G#m7
On a cross, bloodied and broken
               H 
Crimson river flowing down
                          E               G#m7
As darkness fell upon Golgotha
                 H 
Tortured body wrapped in shroud
                 F#              H/F#  F#  E         E
Our Messiah laid beneath the ground   
 
Verse 2:
              E                    G#m7
Every curse upon His shoulders
                 H 
With our sin He was adorned
                   E                  G#m7
Perfect lamb led to the slaughter
           H 
As a ransom for our souls
                    E                 G#m7
One last act and it was finished
                H 
Pow’r of sin and veil were torn
 
On this cross was our victory won
           F#                      H/F#  F#  H
By His love, He would o-ver-come   

Chorus:
                      F#m7 
Long live the King
        E                                                   H
The wrath of God and man now satisfied
H                        F#m7
   Long live the King 
E                                                     H
Once and once for all He paid the price
                             F# 
That none might die
           C#m7            G#m7                 F#
Now every sin and sickness bows its knee
         E                       H                         F#
And I can’t help but lift my hands and sing
                       E        G#m7  H
Long live the King   
 
Verse 3:
                   E                       G#m7
Then within the bowels of Hades
    H 
A trembling was made
                    E                        G#m7
The very breath of God descended
                         H 
Which death itself could not enslave
               A 
The exodus of ancient sinners
                     E/G#              H
Marched in triumphal parade
             G#m7             F#    E      H/D#
Finally hell had been overcome  
                 E                 F#sus  F#  Hsus  H
By Jesus Christ, the Anointed One

        E                                                     H
The Son of God is crowned with many crowns
H                       F#m7 
   Long live the King 
E                                                              H
Death and darkness fear Him and bow down
                      F# 
And lost are found
        C#m7              G#m7            F#
The souls of every sinner now redeemed
         E                        H                        F#
And I can’t help but lift my hands and sing

Verse 4:
               E                  G#m7
In the early morning hours
           H 
God’s Spirit filled the grave
                    E               G#m7
Breathing life into the body
             H 
Of the Lamb who had been slain
            A 
Resurrecting like a Lion
                E/G#                  H
As the stone was rolled away
          G#m7          F#sus  E   H/D#
Jesus Christ now glori-fied   
                   E           F#sus  F#  Hsus  H
Yes, our Redeemer, He’s alive

         E                                                    H
The train of His robe glides across the floor
                F# 
Creation roars
   C#m7                G#m7                        F#
A billion ancient stars bow down their knees
         E                      H                           F#
And I can’t help but lift my hands and sing
