“Then Jesus came to them and said,
‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.”
(Matthew 28:18)
All authority by God’s own decree
Both heaven and earth belong to Thee
From highest mountain to the depths of sea
From furthest stranger to the depths of me
With just a word He stilled the storm
With just a word creation must obey
No other must He call
For Christ has formed it all
The prophets Daniel and Isaiah proclaim
A Kingdom given to the Lamb who would be slain
The Son of Man through death wrought gain
The Suffering Servant He shall forever reign
Authority Christ had to laid down His life
Power He had to take it back up
No sheep will He lose
For His call they’ll not refuse
A rod of iron in His hand
A cross of love His great plan
Both lion and lamb
Both God and man
The King of Kings
The Lord of Lords
The Name above all Names
From Him alone light springs
The chasm of sin His blood fords
Jesus Christ forever reigns
