Lift up your gaze be lifted up
Tell everyone how great the love
The love come down from heaven’s gate
To kiss the earth with hope and grace
Sing
Who is this King of Glory
The Lord, strong and mighty
Who is this King of Glory
The Lord, strong and mighty
Lift up your hands be lifted up
Let the redeemed declare the love
We bow down at heaven’s gate
To kiss the feet of hope and grace
Sing
There is one God He is Holy
There is one Lord over everything
There is one King He is Jesus
King of glory strong and mighty
(repeat)
You are the King of Glory
The Lord, strong and mighty
(repeat 4x)
