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 sting
To the Victor of the battle
At high noon in the valley
In the valley of the shadow

Well 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 sting
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 gun is the grace of the God of the sky

High noon in the valley of the shadow
When the shadows were shot through with light
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
All praise to the King
The Victor of the battle
At high noon in the valley
In the valley of the shadow

All hail the power of Jesus name...
Now it is finished...
