Jesus is Lord
Everyone knows Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend for “In Christ Alone” and “The Power of the Cross.” But Getty and Townend collaborated on another hymn that is undeservedly underrated: “Jesus is Lord.” Aside from “In Christ Alone,” this is my favorite Getty song.
Check out one audio version of Jesus Is Lord
Meditate on the richness of truth presented in these lyrics:
Jesus is Lord, the cry that echoes through creation
Resplendent power, eternal word, our rock
The Son of God, the King whose glory fills the heavens
Yet bids us come to taste this living bread
Jesus is Lord, whose voice sustains the stars and planets
Yet in His wisdom laid aside His crown
Jesus the Man, who washed our feet, who bore our suffering
Became a curse to bring salvation’s plan
Jesus is Lord, the tomb is gloriously empty
Not even death could crush this King of love
The price is paid, the chains are loosed, and we’re forgiven
And we can run into the arms of God
Jesus is Lord, a shout of joy, a cry of anguish
As He returns and every knee bows low
Then every eye and every heart will see His glory
The Judge of all will take His children home
