God so loved, that He gave His son
To lay down His life for the sake of us.
He bore the weight of our sin and shame.
With a cry He said, 'It is finished.'
Christ the Lord overcame the darkness;
He's alive: death has been defeated.
For He made us a way
By which we have been saved.
He's the Saviour of the world.
So we lift up a shout for His fame and renown.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord:
Jesus, Saviour of the world.
We must spread the word of His soon return
To reclaim the world for His glory.
Let the church now sing of this coming King,
Crowned with majesty: our Redeemer.
And He reigns, ruler of the heavens.
And His name is Jesus, the Messiah.
For He made us a way
By which we have been saved.
He's the Saviour of the world.
So we lift up a shout for His fame and renown.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord:
Jesus, Saviour of the world.

Jesus, lover of my soul,
All consuming fire is in Your gaze.
Jesus, I want You to know
I will follow You all my days.
For no one else in history is like You,
And history itself belongs to You.
Alpha and Omega, You have loved me,
And I will share eternity with You.
It's all about You, Jesus,
And all this is for You,
For Your glory and Your fame.
It's not about me,
As if You should do things my way;
You alone are God,
And I surrender to Your ways.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Turn your eyes to the hillside
Where justice and mercy embraced
There the Son of God gave His life for us
And our measureless debt was erased
Jesus, to You we lift our eyes
Jesus, our glory and our prize
We adore You, behold You, our Saviour ever true
Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to You
Turn your eyes to the morning
And see Christ the Lion awake
What a glorious dawn, fear of death is gone
For we carry His life in our veins
Jesus, to You we lift our eyes
Jesus, our glory and our prize
We adore You, behold You, our Saviour ever true
Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to You
Turn your eyes to the heavens
Our King will return for His own
Every knee will bow, every tongue will shout,
'All glory to Jesus alone!'
Jesus, to You we lift our eyes
Jesus, our glory and our prize
We adore You, behold You, our Saviour ever true
Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to You

There are kings, there are queens,
There are big celebrities,
But there is no one else like Jesus.
You can get onto 'X Factor',
Be a famous chef or actor,
But you won't compare to Jesus.
(Repeat)
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns,
Bigger, brighter than the stars.
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns
He's the one and only God.
There are footballers and singers,
There are doctors and head teachers,
But the power lies with Jesus.
You can choose to follow Him,
Let Him come and live within,
And then you'll start to be like Jesus.
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns,
Bigger, brighter than the stars.
Jesus reigns, Jesus reigns
He's the one and only God.

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My comforter, my all in all,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! - who took on flesh,
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid:
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me:
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand:
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!
