HE IS LORD
Text:  Linda Lee Johnson, Claire Cloninger and Tom Fettke (stanzas); traditional (refrain)


Emptied of His glory, God became a man
To walk on earth in ridicule and shame.
A Ruler, yet a Servant; a Shepherd, yet a Lamb;
A Man of sorrows, agony and pain.

Humbled and rejected, beaten, and despised,
Upon the cross the Son of God was slain
Just like a lamb to slaughter, a sinless sacrifice --
But, by His death, His loss became our gain.

REFRAIN:
	He is Lord, He is Lord!
	He is risen from the dead and He is Lord!
	Ev'ry knee shall bow, ev'ry tongue confess
	That Jesus Christ is Lord.

Satan's forces crumbled like a mighty wall;
The stone that held Him in was rolled aside.
The Prince of Life in glory was lifted over all:
Now earth and heaven echo with the cry!
