Going forth in Song O Praise Him Kairos
O Worship the King—by Chris Tomlin
O worship the King, all glorious above –
O gratefully sing His wonderful love
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days –
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise
Verse II:
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace
Whose robe is the light and canopy space
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm
Chorus:
You alone are the matchless King
To You alone be all majesty
Your glories and wonders, what tongue can recite?
You breathe in the air, You shine in the light
Verse III:
O measureless might, ineffable love
While angels delight to worship above
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend
Sing to the King—by Billy Foote and Charles Sylvester Horne
Verse 1
Sing to the king who is coming to reign
Glory to Jesus the lamb that was slain
Life and salvation his empire shall bring
And joy to the nations, when Jesus is king
Chorus
Come, let us sing a song, a song declaring we belong to Jesus
He is all we need
Lift up a heart of praise, sing now with voices raised to Jesus
Sing to the king
Verse 2
For his returning we watch and we pray
We will be ready the dawn of that day
We’ll join in singing with all the redeemed
Cause Satan is vanquished and Jesus is king
The Christ, Our Light—by Martin Reardon
When we were enemies of the cross
When we were dead in sin, so lost
The Christ, the Christ, He died, He died
The Christ, The Christ, He died, He died
To drive our sin away, away
Come and take our sin away, away
When all was dark and without Dawn
You gave us Light, you sent your Son
The Christ, The Christ, He shines, He shines
The Christ, The Christ, He shines, He shines
And drives all dark away, away
You drive all dark away, away
