Austin Stone Worship - Hallelujah What a Savior Lyrics

This version joins the language of a classic hymn to a chorus centered on rescue through Christ. The verses move through humiliation, substitution, crucifixion, exaltation, and the promised return of the King. Each scene answers with hallelujah, making praise the response to the Savior who stands in the place of sinners. The added chorus gathers those scenes into a personal confession of pardon, redemption, and love.

Isaiah 53:3 supplies the biblical title often rendered as Man of Sorrows and describes the suffering servant who bears rejection and grief. The cry that the work is finished directly recalls John 19:30 at the crucifixion. The final verse then looks toward the gathering of the redeemed when Christ comes in glory, an expectation reflected in passages such as 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. Together, the lyric presents salvation as the completed work of Christ and anticipates praise renewed in his presence.
