Ron and Shelly Hamilton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
