Glory
Jeff Deyo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My eyes have seen
A glimpse of You
And ever will they yearn
To see You as
They will, my Lord
The hour of Your return

Creation groans
For that great day
When Heav'n and earth collide
When every heart
With one pure voice
Will bow to You and cry

CHORUS
Glory, glory
Glory to the Lamb

With praise we war
Against the night
This battle we have won
Because of Christ
Our Savior King
At last it will be done

With blood stained tears
And nine inch nails
You rescued my poor heart
In laying down




A sinless life
You overcame the dark
