You reached from the sky
Leaving heaven's throne
I was meant to die
You wouldn't let me go
The riches of Your grace
I could not afford
My guilt has been erased
Now I'm forever Yours
And oh, what a price You paid
Trading the highest place
You laid down Your crown for me
How great a King
From death, life has begun
A garden from the grave
Bursting through the night
Yours is the victory
Oh, from death, life has begun
A garden from the grave
You're bursting through the night
Yours is the victory
And oh, what a price You paid
Trading the highest place
You laid down Your crown for me
How great a King
And oh, what a life You gave
You gave up everything
That You would die for me
How great a King
Yeah, how great a King
Yes, how great a King
Oh, how great a King, You are, You are
Come on sing for all You are
Yeah, for all You are, and all You've done
We lift You up, lift You up
For all You are, and all You've done
We lift You up
Oh, sing it
For all You are, and all You've done
We lift You up, lift You up
For all You are, and all You've done
We lift You up, we lift You up
For all You are, and all You've done
We lift You up, we lift You up
For all You are, and all You've done
We lift You up!
And oh, what a price You paid
Trading the highest place
You laid down Your crown for me
How great a King
And oh, what a life You gave
You gave up everything
That You would die for me
Oh, how great a King
How great a King
Yes, how great a King
Yes, how great a King
Oh, how great a King
And oh, what a price You paid
Trading the highest place
You laid down Your crown for me
How great a King
And oh, what a life You gave
You gave up everything
That You would die for me
How great a King
