Raise us from the ashes of our own creation
Save us from your silence in an exile nation
We wait for it,
We pray for it
We ache for it
Come Gloria!
Till we see the mountains fall
And we see you wrapped in infinite glory
Till we see the walls come down
And fall down before your glory
Turn our hearts to Zion, write your name upon us
Heal these wounded lands, oh lord we pray your rain come
We wait for it
We pray for it
We ache for it
Come Gloria!
Till we see the mountains fall
And we see you wrapped in infinite glory
Till we
And fall down before your glory

V1:
Light, You are light, Jesus One and Only
Good, You are good, so full of truth and grace
Bright, You are bright, no dark can dim Your glory
Kind, You are Kind, Your yoke means mercy's reign
C1:
You make light in shine in our dark
and in our hearts - O Beautiful!
You still pursue us through our loss
and bear our cross - O Merciful!
V2:
One, You are One, Three from the beginning
Friend, You are friend, to reveal Your heart of hearts
Bold, You are bold, You bear away our sinning
Love, You are Love, and this world is Your art
C2:
You make light in shine in our dark
and in our hearts - O Beautiful!
You still pursue us through our loss
and bear our cross - O Merciful!
You hide Your face from the wise
yet show the child - O Wonderful!
You call me close and take my pride
and say "this died" - O Lord my God!

V1:
Like a prodigal in Babel
Like a sheep who's gone astray
Like an Adam east of Eden
I've run so far away
But You come breaking through my distance
Past the walls that I have made
By cynic sentinels I've placed there
You come, Lord you come
You come, Lord you come (and take me)
C:
Home where I'm with You restored
By You so Faithful and strong
Savior come to Seek and save what's lost,
and by the power of your cross
I am made whole
V2:
Your mercy reigns here in my weakness,
Your arms enough to be my strength
To take me far across this wasteland,
To the place that You have made
So pick me high upon Your shoulders,
Lift me on Your back that's strong
Let Your words be food to fuel me,
Let Your love lead me on
Let Your love lead me on
('til we get home…)
B1:
I see heaven's distance closing,
Your redemption fast approaching
Our anticipation growing,
When we see your face (we shall be home…)
Outtro:
Home where I know you love me
Home where I feel secure
Home where it aint so scary
Home, home
I am made whole

V1:
Come in celebration and come in grief
Come in full assurance, come in unbelief
Come you lawbreakers, players, and fools,
Come you righteous and keepers of rules
V2:
Come you children, and come you old
Come you Master's sheep, outside the fold
Come you churched - cultured and clean
Come to Jesus, repent, and believe
C:
Come to Jesus,
Come everyone.
Come to Jesus,
All daughters and sons.
With his blood,
He bought your freedom,
Come to Jesus,
Lay down your guns.
V3:
Come you reckless, and come you safe
Come you early ones, and come you late,
Come you homeless , come social elites
Come you winners, losers, and cheats
V4:
Come you empty, tired, and sore
Come you full,- frustrated, and bored
Come you privilege ones, and come oppressed
Come to Jesus, find peace, and rest.

V1:
We have heard of your great works,
We have seen the mark you made,
And we call to you, "Remember us in mercy".
We will climb our highest towers,
And look out over our walls,
We will wait for you, to find us in your mercy.
C:
God of our fathers you delivered, you deliver.
You stood before eternal hills, and they were scattered,
You are the Everlasting One,
You remember us in mercy.
V2:
We have stained our house with blood,
We have done such evil things,
and we call you you,
remember us in mercy.
We have plundered our own homes,
We have no one else but you,
We will wait for you,
To find us in your mercy.

V1:
In the dimming of evening, he's the holder of the stars.
In the loneliness of darkness, he's everywhere we are;
We've been chasing after shadows, and clinging to our gallows,
But Jesus, our Jesus is King.
C:
The Lord, our God, he reigns.
The Lord, our God, he reigns.
In glorious power, his throne is forever.
The Lord, our God, he reigns.
V2:
In the breaking of the morning, he's the mercy that we hold.
In the rising of the noonday, he's the promise that's foretold.
We've been fighting for our stories, and hiding in our glories,
But Jesus, our Jesus is King!
V3:
Whatever the evening or morning may bring,
There's grace for tomorrow, and songs for us to sing.
There's a boundary for sadness, there's a balance for our madness,
'Cause Jesus, our Jesus is King.
Ending:
Our hope is in his love.
Our hope is in his love.
He shows kindness in justice, he's the God who is with us.
Our hope is in his love.
Cause Jesus, our Jesus, is King.

V1:
Holy, blessed Savior come.
God of Victory, God of peace.
Haste the final, eternal hour.
Heavenly triumph, Kingly reign.
C1:
But not to leave this foreign land,
And hear the dwindling rebellion songs.
But rather claim it as your home,
And call these rebels as your sons.
V2:
Recall this flesh, breathe over the bones
As you did our hearts of stone
Uncurse the ground, these whitewashed tombs,
Let lame men dance and deserts bloom.
C2:
But not to curse this dust you've given
You answer groaning with new birth.
But to bring the Kingdom as it is in Heaven,
The Son of Man, the King of Earth.
V3:
God of covenant and fiery pillar
Of transient nation and slaves delivered
You have made your dwelling here
And Eden's promise is ever near

V1:
On the far side of the desert,
Where only faith will lead
Where we slaves, exiles, and beggars
Go wandering when we seek
A realm where an age-old empire
Of all we have and do
Falls before a cross-shaped desire
Where faith, hope, and love rule
C1:
You are the fire that leads us
You are the cloud that shields us
You are my hope's horizon
And I will follow you
No turning back
V2:
When I see Egypt as Eden
nostalgia blurs my eyes.
Want to trade the fear of wandering
for a cell in which I hide.
But through the blood of Jesus
our prison's overthrown
He breaks the chains and frees us
And makes our sin his own
C2:
And we will long for you
No turning back
