We have been justified
By faith through Jesus Christ
It's only by his grace we stand
Once bound by sin and shame
Now slave to righteousness
Our faith perfected by his love
Praise the Savior, he has won
Our sin defeated, through his blood
Now exalted, Jesus reigns
Hail the King, praise his name!
While we were weak he died
Making us reconciled
To God for all eternal days
And even in our fading �?esh
Our only hope and rest
Is found in faith that Jesus saves
Praise the Savior, he has won
Our sin defeated, through his blood
Now exalted, Jesus reigns
Hail the King, praise his name!
We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God!
We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God!
We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God!
We rejoice in the Glory of God
Our hope of glory is
Found in the one who gives
Great joy to sing about
The love that He poured out
Forever lifted high
Is our Savior Jesus Christ
The gift of God given in love
Praise the Savior, he has won
Our sin defeated, through His blood
Now exalted, Jesus reigns
Hail the King, praise His name!
We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God!
We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God!
We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God!
We rejoice in the Glory of God
We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God!
We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God!
We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God!
We rejoice in the Glory of God
