The Lord Descends by Richard Shekari from Abuja, Fct Nigeria

the lord descends

intro:
who is like the lord?
there is nobody—nobody like our god!

verse 1:
it’s another day to give him praise,
for from the grave, he raised the dead.
when he returns in glory on that day,
we will rejoice in his reign.

come to the king with your heavy burden,
the prince of peace will heal the hurting.
he watches over us from on high,
stretching out his hand to mend our broken hearts.

chorus:
come, celebrate the lord who reigns on high,
sing glory to his holy name.
give honour to the saviour of mankind,
for he is above every other name.

verse 2:
every single soul shall witness the lord when he descends from above,
and every knee shall bow before him, the one who comes in glory.
we shall rejoice and dance with joy as we welcome the king of kings.
we shall be crowned while the trumpets shake the earth at the sight of the lord.

chorus:
come, celebrate the lord who reigns on high,
sing glory to his holy name.
give honour to the saviour of mankind,
for he is above every other name.

bridge:
higher and higher—come, lift his name!
he’s a glorious father—exalt his name!
higher and higher—lift his holy name!
he’s a glorious father—exalt his name!

chorus:
come, celebrate the lord who reigns on high,
sing glory to his holy name.
give honour to the saviour of mankind,
for he is above every other name. (2x)
