Lyrics
Come on let's lift our hands in worship You are,
You are Mighty God You are
The oceans and the skies lift up their voice
The heavens and the earth loudly proclaim
All of creation and every nation will declare Your majesty
As surely as the sun will rise
As certain as the dawn appears
Your Lordship remains forever more
Even in the darkness Your light shines
You are the promise of wonders to come
We live for You are God
Yes You are the Lord, the most high
Yes You are the Lord, the most high
Yes You are the Lord, the most high
Yes You are the Lord, the most high
A million times I've failed You oh my God
But Your mercy goes beyond all of my flaws
You took the lonely road to Calvary just for me
Your blood washed over me and now I'm free forever
As surely as the sun will rise
As certain as the dawn appears Your
Lordship remains for ever more
Even in the darkness Your light shines
You are the promise of wonders to come
We live for You are God
Yes You are,
Yes You are the Lord, the most high
Yes You are the Lord, the most high
Yes You are the Lord, the most high
Yes You are the Lord, the most high
Onye n'eme nma, odi onye dika gi

The many [?] one
Chukwu (God)

Yes You are the Lord
We raise a sound from the earth
To say we love You

Lion of the tribe of Judah

You ride on the stars to rescue me
(You are the Lord)
Yes You are the Lord
(You are the Lord)
You spread out the heavens like a curtain

Lion of the tribe of Judah

Yes You are the Lord, the most high
Yes You are the Lord, the most high
Yes You are the Lord, the most high
Yes You are the Lord, the most high

Meaning & Inspiration
“Yes You Are the Lord” is a declaration of God’s supreme rule, expressed through creation, mercy, and redemption. Oceans, skies, heaven, earth, and every nation are pictured as witnesses to divine majesty. The recurring comparison with sunrise and dawn stresses constancy: darkness does not overcome God’s light, and his lordship does not diminish.
The song then makes that praise personal through confession of failure and gratitude for mercy. Calvary and cleansing blood provide the basis for freedom, so the title refrain carries both awe and thanksgiving. Igbo phrases and English responses broaden the praise without changing its focus on the Lord’s goodness and uniqueness. Biblical images such as the Lion of Judah, the heavens spread like a curtain, and God as Most High add depth to the extended call-and-response section. Together, these elements present worship as a fitting answer to the God who reigns over creation, forgives sin, and delivers.
