lyrics
We will glorify the King of kings
We will glorify the Lamb
We will glorify the Lord of lords
Who is the great I AM
Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty
We will bow before His throne
We will worship Him in righteousness
We will worship Him alone
He is Lord of heaven, Lord of earth
He is Lord of all who liveHe is Lord above the universe
All praise to Him we give
Hallelujah to the King of kings
Hallelujah to the Lamb
Hallelujah to the Lord of Lords
Who is the great I AM
"I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever." Psalm 86:12

Paris Wright (born December 28, 1958 in Fort Worth, Texas) is a Contemporary
Christian Music songwriter, author, vocalist and pianist. Since 1980, Twila
Paris has released 22 albums, amassed 33 number one Christian Radio singles,
and was named the Gospel Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year three
years in a row.
Many
of her earlier songs such as "He Is Exalted", "We Will
Glorify," "Lamb of God," and "We Bow Down," are found
in church hymnals or otherwise sung in church settings. As a child she released
her first album, Little Twila Paris, in 1965. The album included songs drawn
from among those she sang with her family in their evangelistic outreaches.
Paris
released her first full-length album, Knowin' You're Around, in 1980, and
along the way she has written books, recorded children's music, and created
worship songs. Her song "God Is In Control" won a GMA Song of the
Year award in 1995 and her 1992 Sanctuary release won the GMA Praise &
Worship Album of the Year. She has won five GMA Dove Awards and three American
Songwriter
In
the 1980s and 1990s, Paris released mainly contemporary Christian pop songs.
But in recent years, she has focused on recording new versions of some of her
worship standards and writing new praise and worship music. Her 2005
album He Is Exalted: Live Worship collects a number of favorite songs
commonly used in praise and worship of Paris's and presents them in a more
typical style of live worship music.
After
her song "He Is Exalted" was used in churches in Brazil, Paris
re-recorded it in the Portuguese translation they were using. This version
appears on her 1992 album Sanctuary.
Although
associated for much of her career with Star Song Communications, EMI switched
her to Sparrow Records in 1996, before her contract ended after 2003. In 2005,
she switched to the praise and worship label Integrity Music for He Is
Exalted: Live Worship.
Twila
released Small Sacrifice on December 26, 2007. which was available
only through her website and at Lifeway Christian Stores. This album married
the two parts of her career by including both inspirational pop/adult
contemporary songs and original praise and worship compositions. Her first radio
single from Small Sacrifice was "Live to Praise." Small
Sacrifice was released for wider distribution by Koch Records on February 24,
2009.
In
2012, Twila released a patriotic-themed project that includes 2 new cuts
("God of Our Fathers" and "America the Beautiful") and 10
cuts that Twila hand-picked from other projects. The purpose of the project is
to inspire patriots with themes of God's protection and love, even in difficult
times.
In
the 1980s and 1990s, Twila toured extensively. As a new artist, she opened for
the Imperials. After receiving her first #1 hit, she began headlining her own
concert tours, with such notable opening artists as Wayne Watson, Clay Crosse,
Phil Kaeggy, Avalon, Aaron Jeoffrey, Fernando Ortega, Out of the Grey and
Michele Tumes.
She
was featured in the Young Messiah tour and co-hosted with Steven Curtis Chapman
both the My Utmost for His Highest and Child of the Promise tours. In the
2000s, she continues to tour but not as extensively. In 2011-2012, Twila
participated in the Christian Classics tour with Steve Green, Wayne Watson and
Michael Card.
Paris
has created a body of work in a modern hymn style. Her compositions are
included in hymnals used by several Christian denominations and various
Charismatic churches. Paris was influenced in her early career by the music of
Keith Green, Kelly Willard, and Jamie Owens-Collins. Her single, "Do I
Trust You" was written in response to Keith Green's untimely death in
1982.]
Willard
and Owens-Collins sang background vocals for her on her Keeping My Eyes On
You album and sang as a trio on the hymn "Leaning On The Everlasting
Arms" on The Warrior Is A Child.
