Y [Instrumental Intro – Flowing acoustic guitar and piano, warm sustained bass] [Verse 1 – Warm, earnest male lead] Make Your Word my passion, Fill me with Your holy desires; Strengthen me in my inner man, Set my heart on fire. So I may tell of Your wondrous works To those who have never heard; Let me be a living witness, Lord, To the power of Your Word. [Chorus – Brighter, more rhythmic; female harmony joins] You are Lord, You are Lord, And You’re greatly to be praised; You are Lord, You are Lord, And I’ll lift my voice in praise. I’ll shout it from the highest mountains, I’ll tell it over land and sea; You are Lord of the heavens, And You are Lord of me. [Instrumental Turnaround – Return to the verse’s flowing feel] [Verse 2 – Reflective opening, growing in conviction] You laid aside Your royal robe, And took the form of a slave; Clothed Yourself in humility, And boldly faced the grave. Therefore God has exalted You, And one day all will bow; I don’t want to wait until then I want to do it now. [Chorus – Full, confident three-part harmony] You are Lord, You are Lord, And You’re greatly to be praised; You are Lord, You are Lord, And I’ll lift my voice in praise. I’ll shout it from the highest mountains, I’ll tell it over land and sea; You are Lord of the heavens, And You are Lord of me. [Chorus – Full, confident three-part harmony] You are Lord, You are Lord, And You’re greatly to be praised; You are Lord, You are Lord, And I’ll lift my voice in praise. I’ll shout it from the highest mountains, I’ll tell it over land and sea; You are Lord of the heavens, And You are Lord of me. [Outro – Broaden slightly; voices together] You are Lord of the heavens, And You are Lord of me.
