Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so should not be reproduced here. They are currently
available on this video from Hillsong.
That said, the words are on a number of websites, and on every one
reviewed so far, they have no punctuation. But the official sheet
music released by Hillsong (links above) does have commas, question-marks
and full-stops. So I have reproduced the full words, including
punctuation, below. They may need to be removed if the
copyright owners object.
1. Who else would rocks cry out to worship|?
Whose glory taught the stars to shine?
Perhaps creation longs to have the words to sing.
But this joy is mine.
Chorus
With a thousand hallelujahs
We magnify Your Name.
You alone deserve the glory
The honor and the praise.
Lord Jesus, this song is forever Yours.
A thousand hallelujahs,
And a thousand more.
Who else would die for our redemption?
Whose resurrection means I’ll rise?
There isn’t time enough to sing of all You’ve done,
but I have eternity to try.
Bridge:
Praise to the Lord,
To the Lamb,
To the King of heaven.
Praise for He rose,
Now He reigns,
We will sing forever.
See more ...
