The Crown

[Intro - Solo a cappella. A single piano chord enters on "worthy."]

Vocalist:
Worthy.
Worthy is the Lamb of God.
Worthy of all praise,
Worthy of our love.

[Verse 1 - Choir enters softly. The tempo is slow and steady. Gentle piano and bass join in.]

Vocalist:
We lift our hands, we bow our hearts down,
To the One who holds a heavenly crown.
He has the power, He has the authority,
Over all the earth, for all eternity.

[Chorus - The choir swells dramatically. Drums enter with a driving rhythm. Harmonies layer.]

Vocalist:
All power and glory belong to Him!

Choir:
Every voice will cry out! Every knee will bow down!
Every tongue confess that He wears the Crown!
The Crown of victory, the Crown of might!
Shining in glory, our everlasting Light!

[Verse 2 - The lead and choir in call-and-response. Music builds in intensity.]

Vocalist:
Tell me, who holds the keys of the grave?

Choir:
The King of Glory, mighty to save!

Vocalist:
Who broke the chains and set the captives free?

Choir:
The King of Glory, for you and me!
[
Chorus - Energy explodes. All instruments and vocals at full power.]

Vocalist:
All power and glory belong to Him!

Choir:
Every voice will cry out! Every knee will bow down!
Every tongue confess that He wears the Crown!
The Crown of victory, the Crown of might!
Shining in glory, our everlasting Light!

[Bridge - Music slows slightly, but the energy stays high. Choir holds long, sustained notes. Lead sings with passionate conviction.]

Vocalist:
Oh, we stand on holy ground,
Singing the highest praise we've found.
There's no other name that saves,
The name that sets us free from our graves.
He's our King... He's our King...

[Praise Break - Tempo doubles. Piano plays fast runs. Drums play a fast, syncopated rhythm. Choir and lead erupt in shouts and ad-libs. The sound is raw, with powerful vocal runs and interjections.]

Vocalist[Powerful ad-lib] Oh, we give You the Crown!

Choir:[Spontaneous shouts  "Glory to God!" and "Hallelujah!"]

[Final Chorus - The music returns to the powerful chorus tempo, with all voices and instruments at their peak.]
Vocalist:
All power and glory belong to Him!

Choir:
Every voice will cry out! Every knee will bow down!
Every tongue confess that He wears the Crown!
The Crown of victory, the Crown of might!
Shining in glory, our everlasting Light!

[Outro - The music slowly fades. The lead repeats a single phrase, as the choir sings one last, beautiful chord.]
Vocalist:
The Crown...
Choir:
The Crown...
