Lyrical Friday - You Alone We Praise

Happy Friday!
I heard this song for the first time last week and could not get it out of my head (for good reason). My friends who were with me couldn't stop singing it. And I am pretty sure that after listening to it, you won't either. Enjoy and praise the One who alone is worthy of our praise.

King of Kings and Lord of Lords
You alone are powerful
You reign in love, You reign in love

The One who is and is to come
Great I Am, The Holy One
You reign in love, You reign in love

You Alone We Praise, Oh
You Alone We Praise

Jesus Christ, the Risen One
You have saved us by Your blood
We're overcome, by Your love-
There is no One who is like You
There is no One like our God!

Lyrical Friday - Lord of Lords

Happy Friday!
This week's song has become the song of my heart. I promised you more songs from Brooke Fraser and Lord of Lords is one of them. She is a gifted writer with an anointed voice. The lyrics are so beatiful. Before you hear the song I would like for you to read the words, truly meditate on them and allow them to penetrate your heart.

Lord of Lords, Brooke Fraser
Beholding Your beauty
Is all that I long for
To worship You Jesus
Is my sole desire
For this very heart
You have shaped for your pleasure
Purposed to lift Your Name higher

Here in surrender
In pure adoration
I enter Your courts
With an offering of praise
I am Your servant
Come to bring You glory
As is fit for the work of Your hands

[Chorus 1:]
Now unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise
All of creation resounds with the song
Worship and praise Him
The Lord of lords

Spirit now living
And dwelling within me
Keep my eyes fixed
Ever on Jesus' face
Let not the things of this world
Ever sway me
I'll run 'til I finish the race

[Chorus 2:]
Now unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise
All of eternity echoes the song
Worship and praise Him
The Lord of lords

Holy Lord
You are holy
Jesus Christ
Is the Lord

[Chorus 3:]
Now unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honour and praise
Call all the sinners to join in the song
Worship and praise Him
The Lord of lords

In her book, The Power of a Praying Woman , Stormie Omartian proposes a question that I have always gone back to (and I am paraphrasing), "Is Jesus lord over every area of your life or only the areas you allow Him to lord over?"  So many times we limit God and only surrender parts of us. I encourage you to surrender all. I pray that God may be Lord over every area of your life- even that area that you don't want to surrender.

"...for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

Revelation 17:14
