Lyrics

The king of righteousness
Stepped down from heaven’s throne
Was robed with guilt and crowned with shame
A sin He’d never known

Emmanuel the Christ
Displaced from His own home
A refugee from Nazareth
Was left to die alone

Great is His mercy
Great is His love for us
Great is His kindness
Great is His faithfulness
Great is His goodness
Great is the mercy of our God

The precious Son of God
Upon salvation’s tree
Redeemed the fruit of fallen past
And gave new life to me

Great is His mercy
Great is His love for us
Great is His kindness
Great is His faithfulness
Great is His goodness
Great is the mercy of our God

In death His body lay
A prison undeserved
The prince of peace was fighting for
The hope of all the world

From deep within the dark
He rose with every key
Now hell has lost He robbed the grave
His is the victory

Great is His mercy
Great is His love for us
Great is His kindness
Great is His faithfulness
Great is His goodness
Great is the mercy of our God
Great is the mercy of our God
