And stand in awe
At the wonder of Your Name
The whole earth sings
The oceans roar
To the glory of Your Name
For all eternity
Lift our hands to You
Forever shout Your Name

Forever we will shout Your praise
Your majesty
Heaven sings Your praise
The wonder of Your majesty
Forever shout Your Name
Forever shout Your Name
We cry Holy
We cry Holy
We cry Holy
Forever we will sing
