Great is the Lord
God almighty
Great is the Lord on high
The train of His robe
Fills the temple
And we cry out
Highest praise
Glory to the risen king
Glory to the Son
Glorious Son

Lift up your heads
Open the doors
Let the king
Of glory come in
And forever be our God

Holy is the Lord
God almighty
Holy is the Lord on high
Let all the earth




Bow before you
And crown You Lord of all

Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป. His name is Jesus.โค
