Jesus is the name we honour
Jesus is the name we praise
majestic name above all other names
the highest heaven and earth proclaim that Jesus is
our God
We will glorify - we will lift him high
we will give him honour and praise
We will glorify - we will lift him high
we will give him honour and praise
Jesus is the name we worship
Jesus is the name we trust
He is the king above all other Kings
let all creation stand and sing that Jesus is our God
Jesus is the Father's splendour
Jesus is the Father's joy
He will return to reign in majesty
and every eye at last shall see that Jesus is our God
I’m special because God has loved me
For he gave the best thing that he had to save me
His own Son, Jesus, crucified to take the blame
For all the bad things I have done.
Thank you, Jesus, thank you Lord
For loving me so much
I know I don’t deserve anything.
Help me feel your love right now
To know deep in my heart that I’m your special friend.
Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away, slain for
us – and we remember
The promise made that all who come in faith find
forgiveness at the cross.
So we share in this bread of life – and we drink of his
sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of peace – around the table of
the King
The body of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, torn for you –
eat and remember
The wounds that heal, the death that brings us life –
paid the price to make us one.
So we share in this bread of life – and we drink of his
sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of love – around the table of
the King
The blood that cleanses every stain of sin, shed for
you – drink and remember
He drained death’s cup that all may enter in to
receive the life of God
So we share in this bread of life – and we drink of his
sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of grace – around the table of
the King
And so with thankfulness and faith we rise to
respond – and to remember
Our call to follow in the steps of Christ as his body
here on earth
As we share in his suffering – we proclaim Christ will
come again
And we’ll join in the feast of heaven – around the
table of the King
