This is such a brilliant song and a joyous, exubrant and passionate rendition by Keith that I had to post this to compliment his name-sake's effort.
Here are the lyrics to this awesome song.
For His Name's Sake
Shalom
dmcd
The Victor (as sung by Keith Green)
Swallowed into earth's dark womb
Death has triumphed
That's what they say
But try to hold Him in the tomb
The Son of Life
Rose on the third day
Just look!
The gates of hell
They're falling
Crumbling from the inside out
He's bursting through
The walls with laughter (Hah!)
Listen to the Angels shout
It is finished
He has done it
Life conquered death
Jesus Christ
Has won it
His plan of battle fooled them all
They led Him off to prison to die
But as He entered Hades Hall
He broke those hellish chains with a cry
Just listen to those demons screaming
See Him bruise the serpent's head
The prisoners of Hell
He's redeeming (Oh!)
All the power of death is dead
It is finished
He has done it
Life conquered death
Jesus Christ
Has won it
Look!
The gates of hell they're falling
Crumbling from the inside out
He's bursting through the walls with laughter (Hah!)
Listen to the Angels shout
(Listen, oh, listen)
It is finished
He has done it
Life conquered death
Jesus Christ
Has won it
It is finished
He has done it
Life conquered death
Jesus Christ
Has won it
