I Saw The Lord
Ron & Shelly Hamilton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the lord, I see the lord
Exalted high upon the worship
Of the people of the earth
I see the lord, I see the lord
My eyes have seen the king
The lamb upon the throne
Who reigns forevermore
The train of his robe
Fills the temple
A cloud of heavenly worshipers
Surrounding his throne
We join with them now crying
"Holy, holy is the lamb
The lamb alone"

And ever
Forever and ever, forever and ever
Forever and ever, forever and ever
Forever and evermore
Forevermore

My eyes have seen the king
The lamb upon the throne
Who reigns forevermore





God is able
