When Time Was Full (Arr. by Robin Fish) Lyrics

When time was full, God sent His Son

to save those under Law;

His destined path Christ did not shun,

but faced death's hungry maw.

As Life was swallowed up and died,

creation shook and groaned;

Its Lord and Maker crucified,

deposed, entombed, disowned.

This holy Jonah undecayed

lay still within the whale;

This Lord of Life on death then preyed,

hell's titan to impale:

From gaping jaws came forth this King,

with death the casualty!

Colossal foe, where now your sting?

Where, grave, your victory?

God's valiant One, once sacrificed

is high exalted now,

That at the name of Jesus Christ

each knee should surely bow;

Each tongue confess and praise the Lamb,

our resurrected Lord,

The First and Last, the great I AM—

acclaimed, enthroned, adored!
