Be the crown in the light and sound
Be the fire burning inside out
Be the love casting out of fear
Let your name move 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
Oh ho ho ho ho, oh oh oh
Be the crown in the light and sound
Be the fire burning inside out
Be the love casting out of fear
Let your name move the atmosphere
Oh ho ho ho ho, oh oh oh
And we owe it all to Jesus
Sin and all the shame deleted
Death and all the chains defeated
And the light we see its Jesus
And the name we see is freedom
And the sound we know
Knows no fear
Your love through the atmosphere
