Defeated



Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan



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 judgments 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 death

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
