We lift our hands in the sanctuary
Oh Lord we adore You
Giving You the highest praise
With our song we’ve come to bless You
Forever and ever
Great and greatly to be praised
We turn our hearts to You in worship
Expressing our love for You
Oh Lord we thank You for all Your blessings
And the promises that You have in store for me
All praise be to You Lord my King
For You are my life
And now I sing
All praise be to You Lord my King
For You are my life
And now I sing forever You are
Great and greatly to be praised
