All around Your throne
Rainbow colours fly through light
And heavy thunder rolls
And the lightning blinds, so bright
Living creatures cry Holy is the Lord
As they try to hide their eyes
Rulers of this world
Only join in vain as one
There’s no other power
Could ever overthrow Your Son
Principalities and powers
Know that You are Lord
And they try to hide their eyes
‘Cause You shine brighter than the sun
Only Holy One, and You shine on me
Oh, Jesus, only risen Son
Seated on Your throne
Would You shine on me today
There will be a day
When the stars will leave the sky
Heaven and earth will shake
And the moon will give no light
While every tongue will cry
Jesus Christ is Lord
Some will try to hide their eyes
Paul Oakley
