Verse
        D/F#            G
In the darkness we were waiting
          A              D
Without hope without light
           D/F#                 G
Till from heaven You came running
           A                D
There was mercy in Your eyes
     D/F#                 G
To fulfill the law and prophets
      A                      D
To a virgin came the Word
        D/F#                   G
From a throne of endless glory
      A             D
To a cradle in the dirt


Chorus
D                   G
Praise the Father Praise the Son

God of glory, Majesty

Verse
  D/F#                      G
To reveal the kingdom coming
        A              D
And to reconcile the lost
    D/F#               G
To redeem the whole creation
        A                 D
You did not despise the cross
    D/F#          G
For even in Your suffering
        A              D
You saw to the other side
        D/F#                G
Knowing this was our salvation
      A                        D
Jesus for our sake You died


Chorus


Bridge
        Bm                  G
And the morning that You rose
        A                  D
All of heaven held it’s breath
           Bm                       G
Till that stone was moved for good
         A                    D
For the Lamb had conquered death
         Bm                      G
And the dead rose from their tombs
        A                D
And the angels stood in awe
        Bm                   G
For the souls of all who’d come
        A             D
To the Father are restored
         D/F#                      G
And the Church of Christ was born
           A                 D
Then the Spirit lit the flame
         D/F#                  G
Now this gospel truth of old
           A                    D
Shall not kneel, shall not fade

        D/F#                 G
By His blood and in His name
             A                  D
And in His freedom I am free
        D/F#                G
For the love of Jesus Christ
        A            D
Who has resurrected me

King Of Kings Lyrics:

Verse
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope without light
Till from heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfill 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
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

Bridge
And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held it’s 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
And the Church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel, shall not fade

By His blood and in His name
And in His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me

Ending
Praise the Father Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
