You are the first and the last
Beginning and the end
The promise of wonders to come
The future is in Your hands
Caught in the light with all the earth we will sing
You are the Author of love
Our freedom is in Your name
Embracing the crossment for us
And bought us to life again
Caught in the love with all we are let us sing
God our hope and our salvation
Worthy of all the praise
Be our light everlasting
Great is Your name
Jesus the first and the last
Show us the way of Your love
Lead us towards the truth
Stir up the fire in us
To live out this life for you
Caught in Your name Jesus forever we’ll sing
Every heart every nation will hear the sound
As Your light breaks through the darkness
And Your name rings out
Every distant horizon will meet as one
Singing holy is Your name
We sing holy is Your name
Jesus the first and the last
Jesus the first and the last
You are, the first and the last
You are, You’re the alpha and omega
The beginning and the end
Our salvation You bring freedom
God Your grace it knows no end
You’re the name above all names
The Lamb that was slain
You are yeah.. the first and the last
You are the first and the last
