[Verse 1:]
You left Your throne for our salvation
Jesus Christ, the hope of our nation
Battered by the weight of our nature
For our crimes You came to save
[Verse 2:]
God of the world, You walked among us
Covered in flesh, in all of our weakness
You were despised, embarrassed, and lonely
But through Your shame we came alive
[Chorus:]
So God be praised
Forever we will shout Your name
Lord over all
You left heaven for earth
Your glory for us
Risen King be lifted high
[Verse 3:]
Out of the dark, and into Your likeness
Caught in hope, a love so relentless
Called by name, Your sons and Your daughters
Bought with a price, we are alive
[Bridge:]
Because I'm alive, I'll give You my life
Because I am free, I'll bow at Your feet
Because I am loved, I'm able to love
Because I am Yours, my worth is secure
