Hillsong Worship - Praise The Lord Hallelujah Amen Lyrics

This Hillsong Worship song tells the story of Christ in order, from his place with God to his promised return, and answers it with one shared refrain of praise. It opens with the language of John's Gospel: "The Word that was with God" and "The Light came into the darkness."

The second verse describes the incarnation as "Wrapped in flesh and blood" and names "A servant's heart." The third verse moves to the cross and the empty tomb in plain words: "He died but rose again," followed by "Our Savior reigns."

The chorus is a prayer and a shout together. "Christ be glorified / King Jesus lifted high" gives the aim of the whole gathering, while "Your kingdom come / And Your will be done" borrows from the Lord's Prayer. It ends on the simple "Praise the Lord / Hallelujah, Amen," easy for a large congregation to take up.

The last verses look ahead to creation waiting to see him "face to face" and every tongue confessing that the King is returning. It suits Sunday services, Easter and Advent celebrations.
