Worship The Lord
Al Gordon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
with awe and with reverence, bow to adore
You are my Lord, you are my holiness
Jesus my righteousness, I worship you Lord

I? m living for your glory
I? m living for the name above all names
No one else is worthy
No one else can ever take your place


I worship you Lord in beautiful holiness
Lifting up reverence, I bow to adore
I give you my all, surrendering everything
my everyday offering: to worship you Lord
I? m living for your glory?

You are high and lifted up




high and lifted up
