In the garden, love was pure
Every breath was safe and sure
Then a whisper, then a fall
Shadows stretched across us all
But mercy spoke before the night
A promise shining in the fight
Oh, love won the war
Love broke the chains
Grace stepped
In and took our place
The enemy struck
But he lost it all
For the grave gave way
When Jesus called
Every tear, every shame
Every heartbreak had a name
Yet through the sorrow
Through the strife
Came the One who gives us life
Oh, mercy spoke before the night
Hope was coming in the light
Oh, love won the war
Love broke the chains
Grace stepped
In and took our place
The enemy struck
But he lost it all
For the grave gave way
When Jesus called
Sin had a moment
But love has the throne
Darkness trembled
When He rolled that stone
Now every battle
Every scar
Is healed by the hands
With nail-pierced scars
Oh, love won the war
Love broke the chains
Grace stepped
In and took our place
The enemy struck
But he lost it all
For the grave gave
Way when Jesus called
The enemy struck
But he lost it all
For the grave gave
Way when Jesus called
So lift your head
The story's true
Love has won
And He won for you
