YOU ARE THE LORD,
The famous One, famous One;
Great is Your name in all the earth.
The heavens declare
You’re glorious, glorious;
Great is Your fame beyond the earth.
And for all You’ve done and yet to do,
With every breath, I’m praising You.
Desire of nations and every heart,
You alone are God,
You alone are God.
The Morning Star is shining through,
And every eye is watching You.
Revealed by nature and miracles,
You are beautiful, You are beautiful.
