Perfect in love

Here You are

Robed in majesty and light

Glory beyond earth and sky

Who is like the Lord Most high?

Great is the One who would leave

A throne room for a cross

All for love


All glory to God alone

Praise to the One who gave it all

Name above all names

King Jesus, King Jesus

All glory to God alone

Praise to the One who holds the throne

Name above all names

King Jesus, King Jesus


Imperfect lives

At your feet

Finding mercy in Your eyes

How far from this place we would be

God, without Your sacrifice

Great is the grace

That would reach across the great divide

To bring us life


Shout all the earth

Shout like you know that our King is risen

Shout like you know

The kingdom of heaven is here

Shout all you saints

Shout like you know

That we're in His presence

Shout like you know

The King is in residence here
