That Heavenly Chorus, Evangel Orchestra
Kids and I... sometimes.
Story behind the song
Christ's ascension glories.
Lyrics
------------------VERSE 1----------------------------
Who is Taken up above the Sky?
Who ascendeth to The Throne on High?
Lo! He's Caught Up in the clouds above …
Silver lined w' His Redeeming Love!
-----------------REFRAIN ---------------------------
Take away our sins on Cal-va-ry!
Rise above to Heaven's seat … Glory!
Now, we'll raise with Him on High
'Upward in the sky …Victory nigh!
--------------- DESCENSION 1--------------------
Christ hath raised to Heaven's Majesty
Overcoming Satan's Travesty
Flying high in Heaven's holy sea
Honor glory reigning endlessly
-----------------ASCENSION------------------------
Up … and Rising
-- The Clouds comprising 'im
On a cherub
-- His Hosts a' gatherin'
Lifting Up … Be-side the Father's Hand
Ride the Heavens: 'the LORD - OH JAH!
... LAMB - OF GOD!
----------------- VERSE 2----------------------------
Lift your heads ye everlasting doors …
Fly above upon the Heavn'ly shore(s)
Dancing playin' there forever more
Lifting praises to the HOLY LORD!
----------------------------------------------------------
[REFRAIN]
-------------- DESCENSION 2----------------------
Christ Ascended up to Heaven's Seat
Power given Him Eternally,
Lo! The King is in His Holy Place
Reigning down w' mighty saving grace
---------------------------------------------------------
[ASCENSION]
------------------ VERSE 3---------------------------
Am I lifted up above the world?
Always Gazing up upon the Lord?
Am I Raptured up in Heaven's air!
Gathered with the saints and angels there!
---------------------------------------------------------
[ASCENSION x 2]
-------------- DESCENSION 3----------------------
Though I've fallen from Thy grace 'it seems'
Raise me: lift me in Thine arms ... 'oh Please'!
Now, the dying love of Christ Redeems
Take me up with Thee Eternally!
