Behold the King has come
Divinity incarnate
Creator of the world
Breathing our air
Behold what light has come
And the dark cannot contain it
The Savior of the world
Is finally here
O come let us adore Him
Come let us adore Him
For He alone is worthy
Christ the Lord
Behold the Father's love
Beyond all comprehension
He gave His only Son
To die in our place
Go and see that empty tomb
He's not there for He is risen
Every heart prepare Him room
Jesus Christ the King of Heaven
O come let us adore Him
Come let us adore Him
For He alone is worthy
Christ the Lord
We give You all the glory
We give You all the glory
We give You all the glory
Christ the Lord
We give You all the glory (all the glory)
We give You all the glory
We give You all the glory
Christ the Lord
We praise Your name
(We praise Your name forever)
We praise Your name
(We praise Your name forever)
Jesus we praise Your name forever
Christ the Lord
O come let us adore Him
Come let us adore Him
For He alone is worthy
Christ the Lord
O come let us adore
Come let us come let us adore Him
For He alone is worthy
Christ the Lord
Christ the Lord
He is Christ the Lord
Behold
Phil Wickham's song 'Christ the Lord' is a worship anthem celebrating the birth, sacrifice, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The lyrics begin by describing the incarnation of the King, then move to the Father's love in giving His Son, and culminate in the empty tomb and Christ's victory. The repeated refrain 'O come let us adore Him' invites listeners to worship Jesus as Lord. The song draws on themes from the Christmas and Easter narratives, emphasizing that Christ alone is worthy of glory and praise. It is a declaration of faith in the central events of the gospel.
