Song Lyrics:

Verse 1
We’ve waited for this day
We’re gathered in Your Name
Calling out to You
Your glory like a fire awakening desire
Will burn our hearts with truth

Pre-Chorus
You’re the reason we’re here
You’re the reason we’re singing

Chorus
Open up the heavens we want to see You
Open up the floodgates a mighty river
Flowing from Your heart
Filling every part of our praise

Verse 2
Your presence in this place Your glory on our face
We’re looking to the sky
Descending like a cloud You’re standing with us now
Lord unveil our eyes

Bridge
Show us show us Your glory
Show us show us Your power
Show us show us Your glory Lord
