Lyrics
Father in heaven, how we love you.
We lift your Name in all the earth.
May your kingdom, be established in our praises
As your people declare your mighty works.
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is, and is, to come.
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty.
Who reigns forever more.

Meaning & Inspiration
Blessed Be The Lord God Almighty is a compact prayer of praise addressed to the Father. It begins with love and exaltation, then asks that the divine kingdom be established amid the praises of the people. The movement from prayer to declaration gives the song a communal shape: worshippers lift the name of God, recount his works, and confess his enduring reign.
The refrain closely echoes Revelation 1:8 in describing the Almighty as the one who was, who is, and who is to come. Its declaration that God reigns forever also corresponds with Psalm 145:13, where the kingdom of God is described as everlasting. The words about the kingdom being established in praise additionally recall the petition ‘Your kingdom come’ in Matthew 6:10. With only a few lines, the song joins affection, public praise, and confidence in the eternal rule of God.
