/// O Praise The Name ///

I cast my mind to Calvary

Where Jesus bled and died for me.

I see His wounds, His hands, His feet.

My Savior on that cursed tree


His body bound and drenched in tears

They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb.

The entrance sealed by heavy stone

Messiah still and all alone


O praise the name of the Lord our God

O praise His name forever more

For endless days we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord, oh Lord our God


Then on the third at break of dawn,

The Son of heaven rose again.

O trampled death where is your sting?

The angels roar for Christ the King


O praise the name of the Lord our God

O praise His name forever more

For endless days we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord, oh Lord our God


He shall return in robes of white,

The blazing Son shall pierce the night.

And I will rise among the saints,

My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face


O praise the name of the Lord our God

O praise His name forever more

For endless days we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord, oh Lord our God

/// King Of Kings ///

Praise the Father, praise the Son

Praise the Spirit, three in one

God of glory, Majesty

Praise forever to the King of Kings


And the morning that You rose

All of Heaven held its breath

'Til 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


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


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

/// Holy Forever ///

A thousand generations falling down in worship

To sing the song of ages to the Lamb

And all who've gone before us

and all who will believe

Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb


Your name is the highest

Your name is the greatest

Your name stands above them all


All thrones and dominions

All powers and positions

Your name stands above them all


And the angels cry holy

All creation cries holy

You are lifted high, holy

Holy forever


If you've been forgiven

and if you've been redeemed

Sing the song forever to the Lamb

If you walk in freedom and if you bear His name

Sing the song forever to the Lamb

We'll sing the song forever and amen


And the angels cry holy

All creation cries holy

You are lifted high, holy

Holy forever


Hear Your people sing holy

To the King of kings, holy

You will always be holy

Holy forever


Your name is the highest

/// How Great Thou Art ///

Oh Lord, my God

When I, in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Thy power throughout the universe displayed


Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art


And when I think that God, His Son not sparing

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in

That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing

He bled and died to take away my sin


Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art


When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart

Then I shall bow, in humble adoration

And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art


Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

How great Thou art, how great Thou art
