The very short hymn "He is Lord" was written by Steve Vest in 1969. It is based on Philippians 2:11.

Philippians 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. [kjv]

Steve Vest: I wrote the lyrics and tune of "He is Lord" in the spring of 1969. I was very active among the Jesus People. My original song only has two verses. Too many verses take away from the flow of the melody. It was written like a slow-motion roller coaster ride. ... Hymnary.org (as of 2022-10-13)

Note: Over time, others have added additional verses.

This is hymn #234 in the hymnal.
