The first verse of “Lord of Heaven” is about how our greatest joy is found in Him as we behold who He is, as we delight in the sight of His glory that our eyes are able to see, as our lives are filled with endless awe as a result of such a sight. And this goes into a Psalm 63 type of response - there is none like Him, no one comparable in beauty, no one more precious to us. He is worthy to be praised. Then the third verse talks about how, flowing out of that beholding, we have a hope that is SO different, a hope that roots us, a hope that is a firm foundation because it is founded on His finished work. He is worthy of all glory, not us! He is the foundation of our hope and, thankfully, not us small humans!

Song Lyrics

I look to You with adoration

My greatest joy is You alone

Beholding You, Your truth, Your glory

Fills my life with endless awe.

Compared to Your exquisite beauty

All worldly things grow very dim

More precious than all gold and silver

My soul is satisfied in You

CHORUS:

You are worthy, Lord of Heaven

You are worthy, Lamb of God

Precious Saviour, crowned with glory

You are worthy to be praised

My heart, it overflows in wonder

My Fortress strong, my gracious Hope

Your saving work my firm foundation

I exalt Your Name alone

BRIDGE:

All glorious, most powerful

Above all else, You are

So beautiful, my heart's delight

Above all else, You are
