We see Jesus for His suffering
Crowned with glory and with praise
Tasting death for all men by God’s grace
Given power to put all things in place
And we see Jesus seated at
The right hand of the throne
Making intercession for His own
Upholding all things by His Word alone
For You are glorious
Shining victorious o’er powers and principalities
For You are glorious
Shining victorious, disarming all Your enemies
The rulers of this world beneath Your feet
Are hurled as You reign
Our conquering King
(Repeat)
