The day was dark and hope seemed gone forever
When the Source of life hung on a cross of death
For a moment, it appeared He was defeated
As the earth was covered with the blood He shed

His followers were filled with desperation
They though their dreams had reached a bitter end
But they did not recall the Savior's promise
That in spite of death, He'd rise to live again

There was no need to worry
No need to be afraid

For God was still on the throne
God was still on the throne
And through the darkest hour
He was in control
God was still on the throne

And through unexpected seasons of struggle
When it seems the light of hope is growing dim
We can trust the Lord who is forever faithful
And claim the victory we have in Him

There is no need to worry
And no need to be afraid
For God is still on the throne
God is still on the throne
And through the darkest hour
He's still in control
God is still on the throne

Through the ages, time and time again
He has proven that He is in command
His eternal power always will prevail
He is God, Lord of all, He will never fail

God is still on the throne
(He's on the throne)
God is still on the throne
Don't you know that
Through your darkest hour
He's still in control
God is still, my God is still
God is still on the throne

Whatever you need at this hour
God is on the throne
Whatever you need at this hour
My God is in control
God is still on the throne
Oh, my God, God is on the throne
