White Throne

Intro

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, (Hallelujah) — oh-oh

Holy, Holy, Holy (come on, sing) — ah-ah

(Yeah) Hosanna, Hosanna — woah-oh

Verse

I saw a throne — blazing white, high above the clash (I saw it)

Twenty-four elders down on their knees, they laid their crowns (they laid 'em down)

Lightning flashed from the altar, thunder rolled like brass (amen)

Books were opened, every secret brought into the light (into the light)

A river of worship, a choir that shook the sky (we sang)

Angels bowed, the living creatures crying, "Worthy!" (worthy, worthy)

And in the center, the Ancient One seated in power (come on)

No deceit, no bluff, every deed weighed and known (known, known)

Pre-chorus

Every name is written, every day is seen (we see it)

The scroll unfolds the story, justice set like flame (set like flame)

But for the blood-bought there's shelter, for the meek a robe (amen)

He who holds the keys, He said, "I am your guard" (I am your guard)

(We trust You) — (we trust You)

Chorus

White throne, white throne — the court is on the hill (on the hill)

White throne, white throne — the books are open still (open still)

White throne, white throne — roar the angels, sing (sing it)

White throne, white throne — He reigns, He is the King (He is the King)

White throne, white throne — (hallelujah) White throne, white throne — (hallelujah)

Verse

Then I saw the dragon — red and furious at the end (watch)

Chains were weighed and found too light, the hour had come (it came)

A shout, a trump, the sentence fell like thunder in the hall (hallelujah)

"Cast him down, cast him down, to the lake of burning flame" (cast him down)

No more liar, no more thief, the ruler of deceit undone (undone)

But the King who sits on high gathers the scattered one (He gathers)

He numbers every tear, He crowns the weary brave (brave)

He lifts the lamb from the ashes, calls the broken child His own (my child)

Pre-chorus

When judgment thunders, when the heavens roll and shout (we shout)

He who was pierced stands before the throne — the final shout (hallelujah)

For those who hide in Him, the verdict is a garment of grace (grace)

He says, "Fear not, I have charge, I will not let you fall" (I will not)

(We rest) — (we rest)

Chorus

White throne, white throne — the court is on the hill (on the hill)

White throne, white throne — the books are open still (open still)

White throne, white throne — roar the angels, sing (sing it)

White throne, white throne — He reigns, He is the King (He is the King)

White throne, white throne — (hallelujah) White throne, white throne — (hallelujah)

Bridge

Lead: Who will stand when the trumpet splits the sky? (who will stand?)

Choir: Only One already rose, He is the door, the only way (the only way)

Lead: Will you trust the Lamb when the books are read? (will you trust?)

Choir (congregation): We trust the Lamb, we stand beneath His wing (ben
