You’re the God of this cit y,

You’re the God of these peo ple,

You’re the Lord of this na tion,

You’re the light in this dark ness, You’re the hope to the hope less, You’re the peace to the rest less,

You are.

(D)There is (A)no one like our God.

(Bm7)There is (A)no one like our God.

For (G)great er things have yet to come, and (A)great er things are still to be done in this cit y.
