Lyrics
Sheet music here
V1
We, the church of Christ the Lord
A tribe from every land,
Loved before the world began
Our names are on His hands
We were promised long ago,
To weak and barren hearts,
And here we stand as living proof
As countless as the stars.
V2
We the people of the cross,
Our mark of victory
For once we wore the chains of sin,
But now we’ve been set free!
We celebrate our suffering king
Who died to make us one
We were the prize set in his eyes
The trophy he has won.
We the church of God
The gates of hell will not overcome
And we will see his kingdom here on earth
As it is in heaven
V3
We the holy house of god,
Each gifted for the whole
And with the spirits help we’ll strive,
To bring the whole house home
We take our message to the world,
“Cursed ground will be repaired”
And satan cannot bear the sound
Of gospel news declared.
We the church of God
The gates of hell will not overcome
And we will see his kingdom here on earth
As it is in heaven
V4
We the bride of Jesus Christ,
The angels stand amazed
As we approach the throne of grace
With beating hearts ablaze!
We the church of endless praise
Are dwelling with our king!
Hallelujah! God be praised!
The skies forever ring.
We the church of God
The gates of hell will not overcome
And we will see his kingdom here on earth
As it is in heaven
