You’re King on both sides of the stone

Savior King who hung with arms stretched wide 
The solace of that crimson flood 
Let's shout this out together, come on! 
With His final breath the Savior cried, ooh 
It is finished, it is done

'Cause only good things come from You

 

From beginning to the end 
You’re so close 
You have never let me down and you won’t 
In the valley, in the shadow, I know 
You’re so close 
You’re so close
