High noon in the valley of the shadow

When the deep of the valley was bright

When the mouth of the tomb shouted,

"Glory, the groom is alive"

So long, you wages of sin go on,

Don't you come back again

I've been raised and redeemed;

You've lost all your sting

To the victor of the battle at

High noon in the valley

In the valley of the shadow


And the demons, they danced in the darkness

When that last ragged breath left his lungs

And they reveled and howled

At the war that they thought they had won


But then, in the dark of the grave

The stone rolled away

In the still of the dawn on the greatest of days


High noon in the valley of the shadow

When the shadows were shot through with light   

When Jesus took in that breath

And shattered all death with his life

Be gone, you wages of sin

Go on, don't you come back again

I've been raised and redeemed

You've lost all your sting

To the victor of the battle

High noon in the valley of the shadow


Let the people rejoice

Let the heavens resound

Let the name of Jesus, who sought us

And freed us forever ring out


All praise to the fighter of the night

Who rides on the light

Whose gun is the grace of the God of the sky


High noon in the valley of the shadow

When the shadows were shot through with light

When the mouth of the tomb

Shouted, "Glory, the Groom is alive"

Be gone, you wages of sin

Go on, don't you come back again

I've been raised and redeemed

All praise to the king

The victor of the battle

High noon in the valley

In the valley of the shadow
