Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:

The Lion and Lamb

The scars in His hands

A mountain of crowns we’ll lay before the throne

And worship Christ alone

Pre-Chorus:

Oh, how do I respond to what I’ve seen

I guess I’ll join with heaven as they sing

Chorus:

Holy, holy, holy

Is the Lord

Worthy, worthy, worthy

Is the Lord

Verse 2:

The first and the last

The future and past

The Alpha and the Omega’s in control

The Son of God enthroned

The thief in the night

The fire in His eyes

His enemies taste the fury of His sword

And receive their just reward

Pre-Chorus 2:

Oh, how do I respond to what I’ve heard

This wondrous revelation of Your Word

Bridge:

What could I say

What could I bring

What do I have to offer to the King

When You are everything

Sinners and saints

Fall to the ground

Every tongue confess and knee will bow

So I’ll join creation now
