Lord You brought heaven to earth
Angels sang at Your birth
Glory, glory, glory in the highest
The child of a carpenter
The very Son of God You are
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth
You fill the darkness with light
You open the eyes of the blind
Glory, glory, glory in the highest
Took the stonnee from the pharisee
Met a sinner pour oil on Your feet
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth
I was born to follow You
I was born to follow You
You believed in me when I was lost
Surrendered Your life at the cross
Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb of God
And even the demons believe
You are the risen King of Kings
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth
Martin Smith & Chris Tomlin
