Lyrics
Verse 1
How rich a treasure we possess in Jesus Christ, our Lord. His blood, our ransom and defense; his glory our reward. The sum of all created things is worthless in compare, for our inheritance is him whose praise angels declare.
Verse 2
How free and costly was the love displayed upon the cross! While we were dead in untold sin, the Sov'reign purchased us. The will of God, the Father demonstrated through the Son. The Spirit seals the greatest work, the work which Christ has done.
Verse 3
How vast and measureless the flood of mercy unrestrained! The penalty was paid in full; the spotless Lamb was slain. Salvation, what a priceless gift, received by grace through faith, we stand in robes of righteousness; we stand in Jesus' name.

For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Amen.
