VERSE 1
In the darkness we were waiting
without hope, without light,
till from heaven You came running.
There was mercy in Your eyes.
To fulfil the law and prophets,
to a virgin came the Word
from a throne of endless glory
to a cradle in the dirt.
CHORUS
Praise the Father,
praise the Son,
praise the Spirit, Three in one.
God of glory,
majesty,
praise forever to the King of kings.
VERSE 2
To reveal the kingdom coming
and to reconcile the lost,
to redeem the whole creation,
You did not despise the cross.
For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side.
Knowing this was our salvation,
Jesus for our sake You died.
CHORUS
Praise the Father,
praise the Son,
praise the Spirit, Three in one.
God of glory,
majesty,
praise forever to the King of kings.
VERSE 3
And the morning that You rose,
all of heaven held its breath
till that stone was moved for good
for the Lamb had conquered death.
And the dead rose from their tombs
and the angels stood in awe.
For the souls of all who’d come
to the Father are restored.
VERSE 4
And the Church of Christ was born,
then the Spirit lit the flame.
Now this gospel truth of old
shall not kneel shall not faint.
By His blood and in His Name,
in His freedom I am free
for the love of Jesus Christ
who has resurrected me.
CHORUS
Praise the Father,
praise the Son,
praise the Spirit, Three in one.
God of glory,
majesty,
praise forever to the King of kings.
Praise forever to the King of kings.
In the darkness we were waiting
without hope, without light,
till from heaven You came running.
There was mercy in Your eyes.
To fulfil the law and prophets,
to a virgin came the Word
from a throne of endless glory
to a cradle in the dirt.
CHORUS
Praise the Father,
praise the Son,
praise the Spirit, Three in one.
God of glory,
majesty,
praise forever to the King of kings.
