Be the crown in the light and sound
Be the fire burning inside out
Be the love casting out all fear
Let your name rule the atmosphere
Love like the skies are wide
Crashing down to bring the world to life
Hope came dancing on an empty grave
Death has lost its rule to the King of grace
Be the crown in the light and sound
Be the fire burning inside out
Be the love casting out all fear
Let your name rule the atmosphere
Oh oh oh
And we owe it all to Jesus
Sin and all its shame deleted
Death and all its chains defeated
And the light we see is Jesus
And the air we breathe is freedom
And the sound it knows no fear
Your love rules the atmosphere
Oh oh oh
Be the crown in the light and sound
Be the fire burning inside out
Be the love casting out all fear
Let your name rule the atmosphere
