The Champion
Lyricist：Carman Licciardello
In the vast expanse of a timeless place
Where silence ruled the outer space
Ominously towering, it stood
The symbol of a spirit war
Between the one named Lucifer
And the Morning Star, the ultimate of good
Enveloped by a trillion planets
Clean as lightning and hard as granite
A cosmic coliseum would host the end
Of the war between the Lord of Sin and Death
And the omnipotent Creator of man's first breath
Who will decide who forever will be the Champion?
The audience for the 'Fight of the Ages'
Was assembled and in place
The angels came in splendor from a star
The saints that had gone before were there
Jeremiah, Enoch, Job
They were singing the 'Song of Zion' on David's harp
The demons arrived, offensive and vile
Cursing and blaspheming God
Followed by their 'trophies', dead and gone
Hitler, Napoleon, Pharaoh, Capone
Tormented and vexed and grieved
Waiting for their judgment from the Throne
Then a chill swept through the mammoth crowd
And the demons squealed with glee
As a sordid, vulgar, repulsive essence was felt
Arrogantly prancing, hands held high
Draped in a sparkling shroud
Trolled by demons, Satan ascended from Hell
Then Satan cringed, the sinners groaned
The demons reeled in pain
As a swell of power like silent thunder, rolled
With the surge of light beyond intense
Illuminating the universe
In resplendent glory, appeared the Son of God
Then a persona, yes, extraordinaire
Appeared in center ring
God the Father will oversee the duel
Opening the Book of Life
Each grandstand hushed in awe
As majestically He said, 'Now, here's the rulesâ€
‽He'll be wounded for their transgressions, bruised for iniquities'
When He said, 'By His stripes, they're healed'
The Devil shook
He screamed, 'Sickness is my specialty
I hate that healing junk'
God said, 'You shut your face, I wrote the book'
Then the Father looked at His only Son and said
'You know the rules
Your blood will cleanse their sins and calm their fears'
Then He pointed His finger at Satan and said

'And I know you know the rules
You've been twisting them to deceive my people for years'
Satan cried, 'I'll kill you, Christ
You'll never win this fight'
The demons wheezed, 'That's right, there ain't no way'
Satan jeered, 'You're dead meat, Jesus
I'm gonna bust you up tonight'
Jesus said, 'Go ahead, make my day'
The bell rang, the crowd cheered, the fight was on
And the Devil leaped in fury
With all his evil tricks, he came undone
He threw his jabs of hate and lust
A stab of pride and envy
But the hands that knew no sin, blocked every one
Forty days and nights they fought
And Satan couldn't touch Him
Now the final blow saved for the final round
Prophetically, Christ's hands came down
And Satan struck in vengeance
The blow of death felled Jesus to the ground
The devils roared in victory
The saints shocked and perplexed
As wounds appeared upon His hands and feet
Then Satan kicked Him in His side
And blood and water flowed
And they waited for the 10 count of defeat
God, the Father, turned His head
His tears announcing Christ was dead
The 10 count would proclaim the battle's end
Then Satan trembled through his sweat
In unexpected horror, yet
As God started the count by saying, '10'
Hey wait a minute, God
9, stop, You're counting wrong
8, His eyes are moving
7, His fingers are twitching
6, where's all this Light coming from?
5, He's alive, 4, oh, no
3, and yet, 2, oh, yes, 1
He has won, He has won
He's alive forever more
He is risen, He is Lord
He has won, He has won
He's alive forever more
He is risen, He is Lord
Proclaim the news in every tongue
Through endless ages and beyond
Let it be voiced from mountains, loud and strong
Captivity has been set free
Salvation bought for you and me
'Cause Satan is defeated and Jesus is The Champion
