We bow down
And we worship You Lord
We bow down
And we worship You Lord
We bow down
And we worship You Lord
King of all kings You will be
We bow down
And we crown You the King
We bow down
And we crown You the King
We bow down
And we crown You the King
King of all kings You will be
You are Lord of creation
And Lord of my life
Lord of the land and the sea
You were Lord of the heavens
Before there was time
Lord of all lords You will be
You are King of creation
And King of the heavens
Before there was time
And King of all kings You will be
