Jesus Christ Is Lord
Bob Fitts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jesus Christ is Lord,
Jesus Christ is Lord,
Jesus Christ is Lord
Of the nations.
(repeat)

He is enthroned on righteousness.
He is enthroned on justice.
His blood has overcome
The enemy of our souls.
He is our mighty Deliverer!

The armies are ready for battle
But the victory belongs to the Lord
You have infinite power to save us
So we call on Your name and Your Word

O Deliverer, came and save us
Our Deliverer, You will hear us
O Deliverer, came and save us
Our Deliverer, You will hear us when we call

God will stand ready for battle
We prepare in the spirit for war
By his almighty power He save us
As we call on His name and His Word

O Deliverer, came and save us
Our Deliverer, you will hear us
O Deliverer, came and save us
Our Deliverer, you will hear us when we call
(Repeat twice)

Just one of us can put
A thousand to flight
And two of us can send
the legions fleeing
Just one of us can put
A thousand to flight
And two of us can route
Evil principalities

O there are many of us here
Exalting the name of the Lord
And in His name we declare
Our vict'ry in spiritual war
We bind the powers of the air
By wielding the Word as our sword

(Repeat)
(Repeat verse twice)
(Repeat twice)

Over princes and powers
Jesus gave authority
We raise our voice
With a shout
He has won the victory
