O Praise the Name (Anástasis) Songtext
von Shane & Shane

I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet
My Savior on that cursed tree

His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid Him down in Joseph′s tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone

O praise the name of the Lord, our God
O praise His name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
O Lord, O Lord, our God, ooh

Then on the third, at break of dawn
The Son of heaven rose again
O trampled death, where is your sting?
The angels roar for Christ, the King


O praise the name of the Lord, our God
O praise His name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
O Lord, O Lord, our God

He shall return in robes of white
The blazing Son shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face

O praise the name of the Lord, our God
O praise His name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
O Lord, O Lord, our God

O praise the name of the Lord, our God
O praise His name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
O Lord, O Lord, our God

O praise the name of the Lord, our God
O praise His name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
O Lord, O Lord, our God

O Lord, O Lord, our God
