Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Far above the highest heavens
On a throne of crystal light
Dwells the God of all creation
Rays of wonder crown His might
Human voices blend with the angels
Giving praise to God alone
Heaven's music rises upward
To the Lamb upon the throne
To the Lamb upon the throne
Blessing! Glory! Sing Hallelujah!
Shout saints of God alone
Honor! Power! and Dominion!
Praise gather at the throne
Oh, they gather at the crystal throne
Gather at the crystal throne
Lightning flashes and thunder echoes
Diamond rainbows fill the sky
Awesome beauty God's provision
Never seen by human eye
Blazing colors show the glory
Of the Master Artist's plan
Built by God for those who love Him
Those who trust the great "I am"
Those who trust the great "I am"
