[Verse:]
In the darkness let there be light.
In the sorrow let joy arise.
As Your kingdom fills the earth.
God our Saviour
Giver of new birth.

Let all sickness bow it's knee to Christ our Saviour our
Victory.
By His death at calvary
I’m forgiven I have been set free.

Hallelujah to the Lord.
Hallelujah to our God.
Lift Him higher above all things.
Christ our Saviour
King above all Kings.

Strength in weakness.
Hope for the poor.
Chains are broken my life restored.
Grace abounding unending love.
There is no one no one like our God.

[Bridge:]

Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty.
Holy Holy is the Lord is the Lord.
