God Be Praised

[Verse 1:] You left Your throne for our salvation Jesus Christ, the hope of our nation Battered by the weight of our nature For our crimes You came to save [Verse 2:] God of the world, You walked among us Covered in flesh, in all of our weakness You were despised, embarrassed, and lonely But through Your shame we came alive [Chorus:] So God be praised Forever we will shout Your name Lord over all You left heaven for earth Your glory for us Risen King be lifted high [Verse 3:] Out of the dark, and into Your likeness Caught in hope, a love so relentless Called by name, Your sons and Your daughters Bought with a price, we are alive [Bridge:] Because I'm alive, I'll give You my life Because I am free, I'll bow at Your feet Because I am loved, I'm able to love Because I am Yours, my worth is secure
