How great is the Lord our King
Creator of everything
Clothed in splendour, wrapped in light
Darkness has no place to hide
Open up you ancient doors
Make way for the risen Lord
Open up you ancient gates
Prepare the way
For the King of Glory strong and mighty
Yahweh, oh Yahweh
King of Glory strong and mighty
Yahweh, oh Yahweh
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall
But our God stands above them all
He fought the power of death and won
His rule and reign can’t be undone
The kingdom of our God endures forever
There is no greater name
