High Noon
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 
Now 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 
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 
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" 
So long, you wages of sin 
I said 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
