Exalt, Exalt the One

Exalt, exalt the One

Dominion left His throne

A robe of flesh to don

A death of thieves to bear

Exalt, exalt the name

Of He who bore our shame

The Son of God: He came

Hope’s stronghold to prepare

Exalt, exalt I AM

For He became a Lamb

No blood of bull or ram

Could cleanse or justify

Exalt then oh, exalt

Atonement without fault

Jesus poured out his All

God’s wrath to satisfy

Exalt, exalt Him then

Jesus saves sons of men

Once and for all He came

Death’s valley to pass through

Come, lay sin’s idols down

Beneath Love’s thorny crown

Redemption’s spotless gown

Waits there for me and you
