Bob Filoramo: My CDs

Jesus Christ is Lord

(words and music by Bob Filoramo)
A hymn I wrote to put to music what I feel is one of the most inspiring scripture verses. Inspired by the second chapter of from Saint Paul’s letter to the Philippians, this song speaks of the sacrifice of Jesus and the resulting exultation as Lord by all people—every tongue shall proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Lyrics

His state was divine, yet he did not cling to his equality with God, but emptied himself, took the form of a slave and he became like all men. And being like all men he was humbler yet accepting death, death on a cross. But God raised him high and gave him the mighty name which is above all other names. So that all beings in the heavens, on the earth and in the underworld, should bend the knee at Jesus’ name and every tongue should proclaim:

Jesus Christ is Lord, Jesus Christ is Lord, Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God.

And being like all men he was humbler yet accepting death, death on a cross. But God raised him high and gave him the mighty name which is above all other names.

Jesus Christ is Lord, Jesus Christ is Lord, Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God.
Jesus Christ is Lord, Jesus Christ is Lord, Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God.
Jesus Christ is Lord, Jesus Christ is Lord, Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God.
Jesus Christ is Lord, Jesus Christ is Lord, Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God.
