‘The God Who Sits Enthroned On High’

Here’s a hymn I’d never heard, adapted from Psalm 14: The God Who Sits Enthroned on High. Sung by the whole congregation at Providence Church, Pensacola, Florida.

(Yes, we’re open for hymn requests.)

  1. Earlier this morning, I had requested Through It All by Carroll Roberson, but it didn’t make it
    to you so I’m trying again.

  2. THE LOFTY ONE

    He was wounded in the battle, blood flowed from His side.
    He never was defeated, but He winced, bent low, and cried.
    The price was very great, much glory put aside.
    He was also torn and bruised, but joy was still inside.

    His shame was oh so great, crushing pain and agony.
    Kneeling in the garden, a place called Gethsemane.
    Betrayed by a friend, forsaken by the rest;
    Assailed by His accusers, He withstood their cruelest test.

    Laid inside a tomb, a cold and barren place.
    A light was there that darkness just could not erase.
    The glory that burst forth that morn so long ago
    Has rippled down through time and can rapture any soul.

    The high and lofty One, the God of eternity,
    Looks down through the ages in thought of you and me.

    Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches
    and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.
    – Revelation 5:12
