You laid aside Your majesty 

Gave up everything for me 

Suffered at the hands of those You created 

You took all my guilt and shame 

When You died and rose again 

Now today You reign 

In heaven and earth exalted.


I really want to worship You my Lord 

You have won my heart and I am Yours, 

For ever and ever, I will love You 

You are the only one who died for me 

Gave Your life to set me free 

So I lift my voice to You in adoration. 


You laid aside Your majesty 

Gave up everything for me 

Suffered at the hands of those You created 

You took all my guilt and shame 

When You died and rose again 

Now today You reign 

In heaven and earth exalted. 


I really want to worship You my Lord 

You have won my heart and I am Yours, 

For ever and ever, I will love You 

You are the only one who died for me 

Gave Your life to set me free 

So I lift my voice to You in adoration.
