THERE IS A SONG, THAT MUST BE SUNG
Of how grace and love, have redeemed us
Our only hope, and our only claim
Is in Jesus name, we’re forgiven, forgiven
Let the song go round the earth
Sound his praises tell his worth
Jesus is Lord, Jesus is Lord
Let every tribe and every tonnegue
Join the great and glorious song
Jesus is Lord, Jesus is Lord
A day will come, in history
When all will bow, down in worship
And there with one heart, there with one voice
Our song will rise, up together, together
He is higher, he is greater
He is faithful and good
He is Awesome, He is Holy
So great and true
He is, He is, He is higher
