O WHAT POWER, O what strength
That a king would come into my life
O what kindness, O what peace
As a crown of thorns displays your majesty
Bearing pain just a man – but a man
For whom the world’s not worthy
Stars screaming – Such splendour
All of heavens beauty
Shining with the glory of the Lord
Reavealing such wonder
All of his creation
Caught up in the mystery of God
Burning passion for the world
Out of love he became the sin for us
Sovereign King – Chosen One
Perfect Lamb – A Lamb so undeserving
In your pain just a man
But a man
Of whom the world’s not worthy
