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
