**The Sovereign Word**
(Verse 1)
In the silence of the morning, before the world began
The decree was spoken clearly by the Great I AM
It isn’t just a whisper, it’s a promise set in stone
A truth that rings forever from the high and holy throne
The heavens hold their breath now, for the King is drawing near
The King of every nation, the ultimate of every fear.
(Chorus)
As surely as He lives, says the Spirit and the Word
Every ear will listen, every voice will be heard
Every knee will bend low, every heart will find its place
Proclaiming all the glory and the wonder of His grace
To the One who holds the keys, to the Lord of all we see
Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess to Thee.
(Verse 2)
There is no hidden corner, no secret kept away
For the light is breaking open at the closing of the day
We’ll stand within the presence, stripped of title and of pride
With nothing but the Spirit and the Savior at our side
To give a full accounting for the life that we have known
Face to face with Mercy on the judgment seat alone.
(Bridge)
(Build tempo and volume)
Not by force, but by the fire of His love
Every mountain leveled by the Power from above
From the islands to the cities, from the valley to the peak
The Name above all names is the only word we speak!
The only word we speak!
(Verse 3)
The shadows are retreating as the ancient veil is torn
The hope of every century is finally reborn
No more divided houses, no more weary, wandering souls
For the Master of the harvest has regained the full control
In the beauty of His holiness, the scattered will unite
To find our truest ending in the brilliance of His light.
(Chorus)
As surely as He lives, says the Spirit and the Word
Every ear will listen, every voice will be heard
Every knee will bend low, every heart will find its place
Proclaiming all the glory and the wonder of His grace
To the One who holds the keys, to the Lord of all we see
Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess to Thee.
(Outro)
So we give account to Him...
In the light of who He is...
Every knee...
Every tongue...
Give praise to God.
(Chorus)
As surely as He lives, says the Spirit and the Word
Every ear will listen, every voice will be heard
Every knee will bend low, every heart will find its place
Proclaiming all the glory and the wonder of His grace
To the One who holds the keys, to the Lord of all we see
Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess to Thee.
