Lyrics
Chorus
Accept God's grace. Obey His plan. There's hope in Christ for ev'ry man. He has the keys of death and hell, And Hades' gates will not prevail.
Verse 1
When Jesus said, "I'll build My church;" Thus God's great wisdom He unveiled; Cleansed by Christ's blood His church began, And Hades' gates could not prevail.
Verse 2
Man bound by sin and without hope; His Savior on the cross was nailed. But Christ arose and we will too, For Hades' gates could not prevail.
Verse 3
When Christ burst forth from His dark tomb, The evil scheme of Satan failed. Christ's pow'r o'er death His Sonship proved, And Hades' gates could not prevail.
Verse 4
When Jesus comes His own to claim, And raise all dead from that dark vale; Then our last foe will be destroyed, And Hades' gates will not prevail.
