Word of life, the Messiah
Who traded heaven’s glory for a cross
Spotless Lamb, roaring Lion
Became the resurrection for us all

There is only one God, one King
Who reigns over everything
His Name is Jesus
His Name is Jesus
One light, one hope
The Christ and the Cornerstone
His Name is Jesus
His Name is Jesus

Our High Priest, Great Redeemer
His blood has torn the veil and made a way
Reconciled to the Father
Now boldly we approach the throne of grace

His Name is healing
His Name is power over the grave
For He is holy, He is the only
Name that is worthy of all of our praise
Christ the Living Word
“Word of life, the Messiah” affirms Jesus as the living Word and promised Savior. According to John 1:1 and John 1:14, Jesus is the eternal Word who became flesh and dwelt among us, revealing God’s truth and grace.
“Who traded heaven’s glory for a cross” reflects Philippians 2:6–8, where Christ, though equal with God, humbled Himself by taking on human form and dying on the cross for our salvation.
“Spotless Lamb, roaring Lion” highlights Jesus as both the sinless sacrifice (1 Peter 1:19) and the victorious King from the tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5), combining His roles as Savior and Conqueror.
“There is only one God, one King” emphasizes the truth in 1 Timothy 2:5 that there is one God and one Mediator—Christ Jesus.
“His blood has torn the veil and made a way” points to Hebrews 10:19–20, which teaches that Jesus’ death opened the way into God’s presence.
