He is King of kings, he is Lord of lords.
Jesus Christ the first and last, no one works like him.
1 He built his throne up in the air,
No one works like him.
And called his saints from ev'rywhere,
No one works like him. [Refrain]
2 He pitched his tents on Canaan's ground,
No one works like him.
And broke the Roman kingdom down,
No one works like him. [Refrain]
