A million stories, everlasting
Your voice like thunder, Your whisper like rain
The stars of heaven shout Your praise
Show us Your glory, show us Your heart
We need revival burning in us
Nation to nation, King of all kings
On earth as in heaven, Your will be done
Reign victorious, let Your kingdom come
Show us Your glory, show us Yourheart

Fill us with wonder as we stand in awe
We need revival, start it in us
You will revive
These bones will rise
To lift You high
