I won?t be ashamed to declare the praises

Of my God, the risen King

The One who gave His life for me

Name above all names

Who came to break the chains

The God who sets the captives free

His love will always fight for me

We are not ashamed

To declare Your glory

And Your majesty

You?re the only risen King

When I call Your name

All the earth will tremble

And the darkness must flee

You?re the only risen King

I won?t be ashamed to declare the praises

Of my God, the risen King

The One who gave His life for me

Name above all names

Who came to break the chains

The God who sets the captives free

His love will always fight for me

We are not ashamed

To declare Your glory

And Your majesty

You?re the only risen King

When I call Your name

All the earth will tremble

And the darkness must flee

You?re the only risen King

You?ll reign forever and ever

My God, my God

You?ll reign forever and ever

My God, my God

You?ll reign forever and ever

My God, my God

We are not ashamed

To declare Your glory

And Your majesty

You?re the only risen King

When I call Your name

All the earth will tremble

And the darkness must flee

You?re the only risen King
