We’re lifting up Your name,
We live to bring You praise,
Cause there’s no one like You
All glory to Your name,
Cause you alone are great,
And there is no one like You
[Pre-chorus]
We will lift You higher,
Higher than all other names,
Cause You are worthy
[Chorus]
Jesus You are the one,
Who is worthy of the highest praise
Jesus You are the one,
You are the one, the king of glory
[Bridge]
Sing it loud, sing it proud, For He is king
He alone, is the one, He’s everything
