Alive And Loud by Richard Shekari from Abuja, Fct Nigeria

alive and loud.

chorus:
you are my desire, the one who answers by fire.
you’re my heart’s desire — take the glory, lord. (2x)

verse 1:
you knew we wouldn’t understand,
the weight you bore with pierced hands.
you saw the mocking, felt the sting—
still you chose the cross, my king.
what kind of love still walks that road
when every soul might just say “no”?
yet you endured, not for applause,
but for the joy of saving us.

pre-chorus:
when the skies and angels rise,
and holy thunder fills the skies,
when saints and all creation rise,
and all the mountains dance alike,
i’ll raise my voice in praise, i’ll lift my flame —
alive and loud, i celebrate you, lord,
for you alone have rescued me.

chorus:
you are my desire, the one who answers by fire.
you’re my heart’s desire — take the glory, lord.
you are my desire, the one who answers by fire.
you’re my heart’s desire — take the glory, lord.

the heavens roar, creation s…
jesus — the name above them all.
upon the cross, our sins you bore.
jesus, your name is above them all.

verse 2:
you named the wind, the seas, the skies,
the moon, the hills, the eagle’s cry.
each breath of dust, each spark of flame,
responds in worship to your name.
all living things, though vast and wide,
were formed to move when you decide.
they bear the proof of who you are—
my maker, saviour, morning star.

chorus:
you are my desire, the one who answers by fire.
you’re my heart’s desire — take the glory, lord.
you are my desire, the one who answers by fire.
you’re my heart’s desire — take the glory, lord.

the heavens roar, creation s…
jesus — the name above them all.
upon the cross, our sins you bore.
jesus, your name is above them all.
