Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look inside the myst'ry
See the empty cross
See the risen Savior
Victorious and strong

No one else above Him
None as strong to save
He alone has conquered

The power of the grave

Glorious
My eyes have seen the glory of the Lord
Glorious
He stands above the rulers of the earth
Glorious glorious
Lord You are glorious

Look beyond the tombstone
See the living God
See the resurrected
Ruler of my heart

No one else above Him
None to match His worth
The hope of His returning
Fills the universe

Glorious
My eyes have seen the glory of the Lord
Glorious
He stands above the rulers of the earth

Glorious glorious
Lord You are glorious
