In February of 2006, Elevation Church launched its first worship experience. Two and a half short years later Elevation Church is meeting in multiple locations with a weekly attendance that has topped 4,000. Through God's favor and a relentless pursuit of His vision we have watched over 2,000 people profess faith in Jesus Christ during our second year of ministry.
Commitment to the vision of life transformation is what drives every corner of this ministry. These songs were birthed from the heart of this movement. Our hope is that through these songs, you'll experience a glimpse of this revolutionary move of God.

May your kingdom come

On earth as it is in heaven
For yours is the kingdom

Forever you reign, forever you reign
Let hope swell in our lives
And we will be the Church
To live out your heart

Chorus
The song "Kingdom Come" by Elevation Worship is a powerful call for God's kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth just as it is in heaven. The opening verse acknowledges God's sovereignty and declares that His kingdom reigns forever. The pre-chorus is a call to action for believers, asking God to fill our lives with hope and to empower us as the Church to live out His heart. The chorus is a plea for God to arise in us and for us to be a witness to the world through the love of Jesus. We affirm that salvation has already been won on the cross, and we take heart in the fact that Jesus has overcome the world. The bridge is a joyful exclamation to sing to the King of Glory and to lift up our voices in worship.
