i lift my soul joyfully if not my life will end painfully extol he who rides above the clouds majestic and glorious reigning victorious exalted is his name far above the earth but below is where i ll see unmoved by your praise seated in splendor high above the heavens resounding out his name far below are my beliefs your majestic light shines down upon me i turn my face and shut my eyes for your light casts darkness upon my world a world i ve not chosen to dwell within for those who judge me by your standards say i m unworthy of your grace enthroned upon their praise pethroned with my disgust unworthy of your glory you turn your back on me yo are jesus you are lord imperfect god you are nothing to me for this you say i ll burn for eternity jesus christ you are lord you are god but have you won over sin and death victory s crown shall be ours for we are those those you ve left behind
