Sovereign Lord
Righteous Life, flesh so torn,
Wounded hand, brow with thorn,
Broken heart enduring scorn.
Is this the Sovereign Lord?
Borrowed tomb, empty space,
Takes our sin, leaves His grace,
Destined for the highest place.
This is the Sovereign Lord!
Fallen heart, lifted eyes,
Stumbling words, longing sighs,
Trembling hands embrace the skies.
You are my Sovereign Lord.
Risen heart, joyful eyes.
Praises soar; my soul flies.
Song of life that never dies,
You are my Sovereign Lord!
Lord, Your greatness is unsearchable
And Your kingdom lives forever.
You are near and You are wonderful.
You are my Sovereign Lord.
