[Verse 1]
The dust was stained a crimson red
Beneath the shadow of that tree
The blameless One became our sin
To set the prisoner free
A place of punishment and shame
Now set apart for love displayed
The Savior's blood cascading down
That hill became a sacred ground
[Chorus]
Oh, praise the Name above all names
Jesus the Lamb for sinners slain
Emmanuel, every knee will bow
To worship You on sacred ground
[Verse 2]
Three days had passed with pain and fear
For what their eyes had seen
But death could not contain the One
Who spoke the words to be
The final hour of evil's reign
When heaven rolled the stone away
His body nowhere to be found
The empty tomb is sacred ground
[Chorus]
Oh, praise the Name above all names
Jesus the Lamb for sinners slain
Emmanuel, every knee will bow
To worship You on sacred ground
On sacred ground
[Bridge]
From death to life, from lost to found
You've made our hearts Your sacred ground
From death to life, from lost to found
You've made our hearts Your sacred ground
To sin and death, no longer bound
Our rescued souls are sacred ground
To sin and death, no longer bound
Our rescued souls are sacred ground
[Chorus]
Oh, praise the Name above all names
Jesus the Lamb for sinners slain
Emmanuel, every knee will bow
To worship You on sacred ground
[Post-Chorus]
From death to life, from lost to found
You've made our hearts Your sacred ground
To sin and death, no longer bound
To worship you on sacred ground
[Outro]
The Savior's blood cascading down
That hill became a sacred ground
