In the darkness
In the blood
Find the snake and God's love
Lifted high, high above
Oh, the dying One, God's love

And underneath the heavy decree
There's too much to carry
The Word that causes death's defeat
Was crucified and buried
For the broken down and come
Find the snake and God's love
In the traffic, in the field
Every beating heart will yield

Underneath the crushing defeat
Who alone can bear it'
See the Son of Man on His knees
Giving up His Spirit

And underneath the heavy decree
See the victim standing
What was not forever shall be
In every nook and cranny
What an unexpected ending
