Destroying the Empire of Self

 This is a great worship song.  I can’t help but pray during the refrain and the bridge.  Jackie’s entire album is filled with songs that inspire worship.  Check her out.

The verses, refrain, and the bridge are wonderfully put together.  I love the conversation that occurs throughout the song.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Here  are the Lyrics:

1. A mighty King, so mocked and scorned:
To save a people, lost and torn.
No crown of jewels, no golden throne,
but through blood and tears your glory shone.
You conquered death and saved us all.
You reign forever, sov‘reign God.

Refrain
Your kingdom is glorious!
Your kingdom is glorious!
King of our hearts, and king of our lives,
your kingdom is glorious!

2. O Christ the King, now glorified,
our life you bought, our death you died.
All kings will bow, face to the floor.
You lift the lowly, exalt the poor.
You conquered death and saved us all.
You reign forever, sov‘reign God. (to Refrain)

Bridge
Jesus, remember me,
when you come into your kingdom. (repeat)
Jesus, remember me,
when you come into your kingdom. (repeat)
King of our lives, and king of our hearts,
your kingdom is glorious!

In planning music for some events and Mass I came across this song.  I love it.  Thought it would be a good reflection.  Read and enjoy.

Lyrics:

1. Behold the wood that bears our name;
behold the nails that hold our sin.
The tree from which salvation blooms;
the death by which we’re born again.

Refrain
We take up our cross and follow him;
we lay down our lives that we might live.
We carry the hope of Christ within;
we take up our cross and follow him.

2. We embrace the sacrifice,
and walk the path we cannot see.
The burdens of this world made light;
by blood and thorn we are redeemed. (to Refrain)

Bridge
Lift him high, lift him high;
let his name be glorified.
Lift him high, lift him high;
let his name be glorified.
