Verse 1

You left Your throne for our salvation
Jesus Christ the hope of our nation
Battered by the weight of our nature
For our crimes You came to save

Verse 2

God of the world You walked among us
Covered in flesh in all of our weakness
You were despised
Embarrassed and lonely
Through Your shame we came alive

Chorus

God be praised
Forever we will shout Your Name
Lord over all
You left Heaven for Earth
Your glory for us
Risen King be lifted high

Verse 3

Out of the dark and into Your likeness
Caught in hope a love so relentless
Called by name
Your sons and Your daughters
But with a price we are alive

Chorus

God be praised
Forever we will shout Your Name
Lord over all
You left Heaven for Earth
Your glory for us
Risen King be lifted high

Bridge

Because I'm alive
I'll give You my life
Because I am free
I'll bow at Your feet
Because I am loved
I'm able to love
Because I am Yours
My worth is secure

Chorus

God be praised
Forever we will shout Your Name
Lord over all
You left Heaven for Earth
Your glory for us
Risen King be lifted high
