With every rising sun
You paint the sky with light
With the glory and the splendour
Of Your name
Before the world was formed
You were on Your throne
There is no one like You
You are God alone
Adonai, Elohai
My God, the Great I AM
King of Heaven, Son Of Man
The Lion and the Lamb
Who is to come
Who is to come
You hold creation
In the hollow of Your hand
Yet Your glory longs to dwell
In hearts of man
The majesty of Heaven is Your throne
There is no one like You
You are God alone
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is, and is to come
