Look Upon The Lord Lyrics by Kari Jobe
Look upon the Lord
Stand in awe of His beauty
Look upon the Lord
Seated high, He is Holy
Let the glory of our God from Heaven come down
Let the house of the Lord be filled with the cloud
You are good and Your mercy will endure
You are good and forever we are Yours
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Listen for the Lord
Hear the voice of His spirit
Call upon His name
He is near
He is with us
