Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your great love was given to us
Your eyes are like the stars that radiate
The burning of Your heart
All-consuming flame
Your eyes are like the light of the noon day
You peer into my heart and leave nothing unchanged
You died for me and I, now I can live forever
Oh, forever singing of Your love poured out
You reign forever
We will sing forever
Your great love was given to us
Hallelujah! We will sing forever
Hallelujah! We will sing forever
Your glory thunders through all that You've made
Resounding in heaven, on earth it's on display
Bowing low from heaven, You came to save
Your eternal blood poured out
All the ransom You paid
Oh, the mystery of love
You died for me and I, now I can live forever
Oh, forever singing of Your love poured out
You reign forever
Hallelujah! We will sing forever
Hallelujah! We will sing forever
There is only one who is worthy
He is seated above the heavens
There is only one who is worthy
He is seated above the heavens
Hallelujah! We will sing forever
