I'm in awe, I am convinced
That Your presence is right here in our midst
As You move, change everything
Holy Spirit, You're welcome in this place
Ride in on the wings of a melody
Ride in on the words of the songs we sing
We sing
Holy are You, Christ our King (We sing)
Holy are You, Christ our King
I'm in awe, I am convinced
That Your presence is right here in our midst
And as You move, change everything
Holy Spirit, You're welcome in this place, oh
Ride in on the wings of a melody, oh Lord
Ride in on the words of the songs we sing
We sing
Holy are You, Christ our King (Holy)
Holy are You, Christ our King
There's only one who's worthy
Only one who's worthy (Oh, it's Jesus)
Only one who sits on the throne (Oh, yeah)
Come on, lift up a shout of praise in here
Let Him know how worthy He is (It's only You, Jesus, You are holy)
Come on, sing this with us (Yeah, hey)
If the angels won't stop singing
Why would I? Why would I?
If the elders won't stop kneeling
Why would I? Why would I?
If creation won't stop praising
Why would I? Why would I?
We'll be joining in with Heaven
Yeah, we'll be joining in with Heaven (Come on)
If the angels won't stop singing (Why would I?)
Why would I? (Why would I?) Why would I?
If the elders won't stop kneeling
Why would I? Why would I?
If creation won't stop praising
Why would I? (Why would I?) Why would I?
We'll be joining in with Heaven (Yeah)
Yeah, we'll be joining in with Heaven (Singing)
Holy are You, Christ our King (Forever)
Holy are You, Christ our King (If the angels)
If the angels won't stop singing (Yeah)
Why would I? Why would I? (Come on)
If the elders won't stop kneeling
Why would I? Why would I? (I'll be singing forever; If creation)
If creation won't stop praising (Hey)
Why would I? (Why would I?) Why would I? (Come on)
We'll be joining in with Heaven (Come on)
Yeah, we'll be joining in with Heaven (If the angels)
If the angels won't stop singing (Why would I?)
Why would I? (Why would I?) Why would I? (If the elders)
If the elders won't stop kneeling (If they cast their crowns to Him)
Why would I? Why would I? (I will; If creation)
If creation won't stop praising
Why would I? (Yeah) Why would I? (We'll be joining)
We'll be joining in with Heaven (Yeah, we'll be joining)
Yeah, we'll be joining in with Heaven (We'll be joining, say)
We'll be joining in with Heaven
Yeah, we'll be joining in with Heaven (We sing)
Holy are You, Christ our King (Forever our King; Come on, sing it out; Oh)
Holy are You, Christ our King
