Lyrics

(Introduction)

(Verse 1)
We serve the mighty One,
The King of heaven and earth.
He left his throne on high,
And came to give us rebirth.
Given eternal life,
Saved from our enemy.
Chosen to be his own,
To show His glory!

(Chorus)
Because, we are the people of the Lord,
(We are the people of the Lord)
Called to give praise in one accord.
(Called to give praise in one accord)
Lift up your voice (lift up your voice)
Sing and rejoice (let's rejoice for)
We are the people of the Lord!

(Verse 2)
We serve the Risen Lord,
Our hearts His royal throne.
Glad to surrender all
To make His glory known.
Sin now has lost its pow'r,
Death has lost its sting.
Joining in one accord;
With joyful hearts we sing:

(Repeat Chorus)
Because, we are the people of the Lord,
(We are the people of the Lord)
Called to give praise in one accord.
(Called to give praise in one accord)
Lift up your voice (lift up your voice)
Sing and rejoice (let's rejoice for)
We are the people of the Lord!

(Change Key and Repeat Chorus)
We are the people of the Lord,
(We are the people of the Lord)
Called to give praise in one accord.
(Called to give praise in one accord)
Lift up your voice (lift up your voice)
Sing and rejoice (let's rejoice for)
We are the people of the Lord!

(Ending)
Lift up your voice (lift up your voice)
Sing and rejoice (let's rejoice for)
We are the people of the Lord!
