Lyrics
You're the Lion of Judah,
The Lamb who was slain
You ascended to heaven
And evermore will reign
At the end of the age
When the earth You reclaim,
You will gather the nations
Before You.
And the eyes of all men
Will be fixed on the Lamb
Who was crucified!
With wisdom and mercy
And justice You'll reign
At Your Father's side!
And the angels will cry
Hail the Lamb,
Who was slain for the world!
Rule in power!
And the earth will reply
You shall reign,
As the King of all Kings,
And the Lord of all Lords!
There's a shield in our hand
And a sword at our side.
There's a fire in our spirits
That cannot be denied.
'Cause the Father has told us
For these You have died
For the nations who gather
Before You
And the ears of all men
Need to hear of the Lamb
Who was crucified!
Who died for our sins
Yet was raised up to reign
At His Father's side!
And the angels will cry
Hail the Lamb,
Who was slain for the world!
Rule in power!
And the earth will reply
You shall reign,
As the King of all Kings,
And the Lord of all Lords!
And the angels will cry
Hail the Lamb,
Who was slain for the world!
Rule in power!
And the earth will reply
You shall reign,
As the King of all Kings,
And the Lord of all Lords!
Song History & Meaning
Composer / Hymnodist: Robin Mark
Jesus holds the ultimate tension of divine majesty and humble sacrifice—He is both the roaring Lion of Judah and the sacrificed Lamb. Because He laid down His life and rose in victory, His reign is defined by perfect wisdom and boundless mercy. As we sing of His coming kingdom, our hearts are invited to surrender our worries to the King who rules with grace. May our eyes remain fixed on Him today, trusting in His eternal promise to make all things right.
