Lyrics & Stanzas
5 portions
Verse 1
From the earth, from the sky, breaks forth the joyful cry, "Our Lord is King most high!" Crucified, He revived, that's why He's King most high.
Verse 2
Humble birth held no worth till angel voice sang forth, "A King is born this day!" Then the earth was aware its hope had come to stay.
Verse 3
Words He gave me to say, by works He led the way This Lord and King to be. Then alone, blood atoned, His life He gave for me.
Verse 4
Darkest pow'r He o'ercame, life for me He regained; A prophet ne'er to die; Priest fore'er on His throne: Lord, God my King most high.
Chorus
My Lord is great and good, and He will hear my cry; He'll ever live and ever reign, my Lord and King most high.
