The Man on the Throne

We gather here remembering

Lord

You are all in all.

Our hearts cry out in love toward You.

We bow the knee withal.

Nothing on earth compares to You

In all creation too.

You are the meaning of our life

Of all we are and do.

You captivated us and now

We follow in Your train.

We are Your people

You’re our God.

In us do rule and reign.

You are the man upon the throne

Set there by God alone.

God planned and willed that You be Head

The Lord of all made known.

Those God foreknew

He set apart

To be conformed to You

That You would be His firstborn Son

And we Your brothers true.

You conquered death and rose with might

Ascending to the height.

You carry out God’s will on earth

Enthroned in glory bright.

Lord

as the God-exalted man

The ruler of all kings

Your government fulfills God’s plan

And utmost headship brings.

You

as God’s heir

uphold all things.

Our heart in worship sings.

You make God’s substance known by all

As from Your throne life springs.

Our pioneer and forerunner

You clearly cut the way

Unto God’s throne and reign by life.

To this

“Amen

” we say.

You take the lead

we follow You.

No other way will do

For God intends to glorify

And seat us there with You.

Under the ruling of Your life

We too will reign as kings

Saved by Your grace abundantly

Upheld on eagle’s wings.

God’s gift of righteousness received

By us who have believed

We’ll testify eternally

Your rule is all we need.
