All God's Children
Delirious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Light will come to those who wait
From the shadows souls awake
For these are the days
When the nations will bow at the coming King

All our kingdoms fall with the mountains
And our empires crash into the sea
For these are the days
When the nations will rise for the coming King

All God's children we will sing hallelujah, hallelujah
All God's children we will sing hallelujah, hallelujah

Hope will come to those who wait as the heart of heaven breaks
For these are the days
When the least of us all see the coming King
For these are the days
When injustice will fall at the coming King

All God's children we will sing hallelujah, hallelujah
All God's children we will sing hallelujah, hallelujah

All God's children we will sing hallelujah, hallelujah
All God's children we will sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

There will come a day when all will fall away
We'll be singing hallelujah
There will come a day when this all will fall away
We'll be singing hallelujah

All God's children we will sing hallelujah, hallelujah




All God's children we will sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
