Glory to the Lamb
Jeremy Riddle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
‘Till His light drew near
And shattered the black
Putting evil to flight
Waking dead hearts to light
The Father, revealed
All sin, all darkness, all shame
For those under His blood His redemption and love
He is calling us near No reason left to fear
Come let us worship and adore
Kneeling lower now before Him
Giving glory to the lamb
Come let us worship and adore
Kneeling lower now before Him
Giving glory to the lamb
How strong did darkness appear
‘Till His light drew near
And shattered the black
Putting evil to flight
Waking dead hearts to light
The Father, revealed
Break out in glorious song for the victory is won
He has broken apart every prison and shame
He has vanquished the grave
The good news is clear salvation is here
Come let us worship and adore
Kneeling lower now before Him
Giving glory to the lamb
Come and worship Christ the Savior
Come with joy and offerings
Come and worship Christ the Savior
Come adore the King of Kings
Come let us worship and adore
Kneeling lower now before Him
Giving glory to the lamb
Come let us worship and adore
Kneeling lower now before Him
Giving glory to the lamb
