WORSHIP IN SONG
WORSHIP IN SONG God the Uncreated One (King Forevermore) Pete James & Aaron Keyes Verse 1 God the uncreated One The author of salvation Wrote the laws of space and time And fashioned worlds to His design The One whom angel hosts revere Hung the stars like chandeliers Numbered every grain of sand Knows the heart of every man He is King forever He is King forever He is King forevermore Verse 2 God our fortress and our strength The rock on which we can depend Matchless in his majesty His power and authority Unshaken by the schemes of man Never-changing, Great I Am Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall He is faithful through it all Crown him King forever Crown him King forever Crown him King forevermore
Verse 3 Mighty God in mortal flesh Forsaken by a traitor's kiss The curse of sin and centuries Did pierce the lowly Prince of Peace Lifted high, the sinless man Crucified, the spotless Lamb Buried by the sons of man Rescued by the Father's hand To reign as King forever Reign as King forever Reign as King forevermore Verse 4 King Eternal, God of Grace We crown You with the highest praise Heaven shouts and saints adore You re Holy, Holy, Holy Lord! What joy in everlasting life All is love and faith is sight Justice rolls and praises rise At the Name of Jesus Christ King of Kings forever King of Kings forever King of Kings forevermore
