Hillsong Worship Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I knew the cross You carried
Now free at last
I'll freely give as I've been given
For everything You've done
And everything to come
Live to glorify Your Name
Forever anthem Your acclaim
Lord I will sing Your praise
Should words fall short
May they fall in honest worship
Till all I am
Breaks in reverence at Your feet
For everything You've done
And everything to come
I will praise You
Live to glorify Your Name
Forever anthem Your acclaim
Lord I will sing Your praise
I will praise You
In the promise and the pain
For as long as life remains
Still I will sing Your praise
The first and last
The Alpha and Omega
God the great I Am
Who was and is and is to come
Almighty One
Blessed Father Son and Spirit
God Emmanuel is with us
Here and now and then forevermore
You rule in love
You reign in peace
You set me free
You owned the cross
You broke through death
Took back the keys
Your kingdom come
All the earth will shout with heaven
For You've always held the glory
And You always will
Forever
I will praise You
Live to glorify Your Name
Forever anthem Your acclaim
Lord I will sing Your praise
I will praise You
In the promise and the pain
For as long as life remains
Still I will sing Your praise
Yeah I will sing Your praise

Your eye is on the sparrow
And Your hand, it comforts me
From the ends of the Earth to the depth of my heart
Let Your mercy and strength be seen
You call me to Your purpose
As angels understand
For Your glory, may You draw all men
As Your love and grace demand
And I will run to You
To Your words of truth
Not by might, not by power
But by the Spirit of God
Yes, I will run the race
'Till I see Your face
Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace
You call me to Your purpose
As angels understand
For Your glory, may You draw all men
As Your love and grace demand
