Come and join in the song,
Jesus Christ is Lord over all,
and he lives to reign for evermore.
The heavens applaud: ‘He’s alive! He’s alive!’

1. Lift your hearts and your voices,
fill the earth with rejoicing for
he’s ascended to the skies,
in heaven now he reigns.
Lord of glory, Lord of life,
he will return again!

Come and join in the song…

2. Lift your hearts and your voices,
fill the earth with rejoicing for
every knee shall bow to him
and everyone confess:
Jesus Christ is Lord and King,
he’s conquered sin and death!

Come and join in the song…

3. Lift your hearts and your voices,
fill the earth with rejoicing for
every nation, every tribe
will glorify his name.
All creation shall bow down
and honour him with praise.

Come and join in the song,
Jesus Christ is Lord over all,
and he lives to reign for evermore.
The heavens applaud: ‘He’s alive! He’s alive!
He’s alive! He’s alive!’

A look at the author

Johnson, Mark and Helen

When Mark and Helen were married in 1988, they both had a keen interest in music. Helen had completed a degree course in English at Leicester University, followed by a PGCE at Froebel College, Roehampton University. She worked as a primary school teacher for a number of years specialising both in English and Music. Mark and Helen left their jobs to set up ‘Out Of The Ark Music’ in the 1990’s, becoming both its directors and principle songwriters. ‘Out Of The Ark’ is unique in its ability to make their Christian songs available in mainstream education. The richness, diversity and relevance of their songs is proving to be popular in over two-thirds of Primary Schools in the UK. Their songs have also featured on Radio and TV, such as CBBies and Songs Of Praise. They have also written for charities such as Comic Relief, Wateraid and the Girl Guides. Mark and Helen have three children and live in Surrey.
