Hallelujah! Hallelujah! There was a sign in heaven!
__
A great wonder appeared, yeah, in the sky above
(Choir: In the sky above!)
A woman clothed with the sun, moon under her feet
(Choir: Moon under her feet!)
Crown of twelve stars shining, with child she cried
Travailin’ in birth pains, ready to bring life
__
But look! Another sign — a red dragon showed up
(Choir: Dragon showed up!)
Seven heads, ten horns, seven crowns of wrath
(Choir: Crowns of wrath!)
Tail swept a third of the stars, cast ’em to the ground
Stood before that woman, waitin’ to tear her child down
__
But God had a plan! God had a plan!
__
She gave birth to a Man Child, born to rule with a rod of iron!
(Clap-clap!) Caught up to God’s throne, higher and higher!
(Choir: Higher and higher!)
War in heaven broke out — Michael and his angels fought!
(Clap-clap!) Dragon and his angels lost, no place could be found!
__
That old serpent fell — Devil, Satan, the deceiver!
(Choir: The deceiver!)
Cast out to the earth, and his angels with him
Then a loud voice cried from heaven:
(Choir: Hallelujah!)
“Now is come salvation, strength, and the Kingdom of our God!
Power of His Christ! The accuser is cast down!”
__
Lead: How did they overcome him?
Choir: By the blood! By the blood!
Lead: What was their weapon?
Choir: The word of their testimony!
All: And they loved not their lives unto death!
Lead: So rejoice, ye heavens!
Choir: Rejoice!
All: But woe to earth and sea — devil’s got short time, watch and see!

Dragon saw he was cast down, turned his anger on the woman
Gave her eagle’s wings to fly to the wilderness
Fed there for a time, times, and half a time
Serpent poured floods, but the earth opened wide
Swallowed up that water, God was on her side
__
So the dragon made war on the remnant of her seed
Those who keep God’s commandments, hold Jesus’ testimony indeed!
We overcome by the blood! By the word! We overcome!
Devil’s wrath is short, but our King has already won!
__
Victory... victory... in the blood of the Lamb... Hallelujah!
