Lyrics
Verse 1
The King of Kings
Who left His throne
To save us here below
And with His blood
Redeemed my soul
He made us all His own
Chorus
He is Lord
He is Lord
He's alive our risen Christ
He is Lord
He is Lord
He is Lord
Hallelujah
Jesus Christ
He is Lord
Verse 2
Crucified
Raised from the grave
Exalted high with praise
Given a name above all names
Worthy of all our praise
Bridge
Maker of everything and all creation
Bows down in worship
Unto the Lamb of God our risen King
We'll bow down in worship
And from this moment through eternity
We'll bow down and worship
As we exalt the name of Jesus
We will bow down and worship
Refrain
Holy Holy
Holy Holy
Holy Holy
Holy Holy

Meaning & Inspiration
“He Is Lord” proclaims the identity and worka of Jesus through the movement from his voluntary humiliation to his exaltation. The first verse presents the King of kings leaving his throne, shedding his blood, and redeeming people. The chorus answers that sacrifice with the central declaration that the risen Christ is Lord.
The second verse condenses the crucifixion, resurrection, and exaltation into a single sequence of praise. Its wording closely echoes Philippians 2, where Christ’s obedience to death is followed by the name above every name and every creature’s confession of his lordship. The bridge and refrain expand that confession into universal worship, as creation bows before the risen Lamb and repeats the acclamation of his holiness. The repeated title keeps every image focused on the authority and majesty of Jesus.”
