O Lord almighty king

This was our first ‘hymn’ that we wrote – in both feel and meter. We wanted to write a hymn in the first person – people in the worship team had commented on wanting a hymn style worship song that was singing directly to God.
The music has quite a majestic hymn-like feel, and I admit the introduction muscial harmonic structure must be a subconscious tribute to the wedding march from my favourite film (work it out !)

Below are the lyrics to 'O Lord almighty king'

O Lord almighty King, There is none like you
All the heavens praise Your name, Awesome, mighty God
They, Your wonders do declare, Your mercies ever sure
Through the ages ever more, Your eternal love stands firm

Praise be to You O Lord, We rejoice in Yo
Powerful and lifted high, Loving through and through
Just and true in all Your ways, Our glory and our strength
Through the ages ever more, Your eternal love stands firm

O Lord we worship You, Lift our hearts, adore
Every age will hear our praise, Your covenant endures
We will sing of Your great love, Your faithfulness make known
Through the ages ever more, Your eternal love stands firm
