Hillsong Worship · 2016 · Let There Be Light
[Verse 1]
You were the Word at the beginning
One with God the Lord Most High
Your hidden glory in creation
Now revealed in You our Christ
[Chorus]
What a beautiful name it is
What a beautiful name it is
The name of Jesus Christ my King
What a beautiful name it is
Nothing compares to this
The name of Jesus Christ my King
[Verse 2]
You didn't want heaven without us
So Jesus You brought heaven down
My sin was great Your love was greater
What could separate us now
[Bridge]
Death could not hold You, the veil tore before You
You silence the boast of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring the praise of Your glory
For You are raised to life again
[Chorus]
What a beautiful name it is
What a beautiful name it is
The name of Jesus Christ my King
What a beautiful name it is
Nothing compares to this
The name of Jesus Christ my King
