From the brightness of His glory
Jesus the Son of God descends
Takes on the nature of a servant
Jesus obedient to death
The Father willed to crush Him
As a sacrifice for sin
He satisfied God’s justice
And in vict’ry rose again
You are highly exalted
Name above all names worthy of all praise
You are reigning in glory
Jesus You’re the King over everything
(Exalted to the highest place)
(Given the name above all other names)
The tomb is empty Christ has risen
Jesus the Lamb once crucified
The angels never cease to worship
Jesus in heaven glorified
To Him belongs the power
The wisdom might and strength
All glory and dominion
To the Lord of every age
Our knees will bow
Our tonnegues proclaim
That You are Lord of all
Our knees will bow
Our tonnegues proclaim
That You are Lord of all
Joel Sczebel | Pat Sczebel
