Glory
Jervis Campbell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see you on the throne
I've seen the grass wither
And i've seen the flowers fade
But your word it stands forever
Through all of my days
And i'm trying hard now to find you
Through the fire and the quake
Oh to taste of your grace
Glory, glory,
I see you on the throne
Glory, hallelujah,
Your love will overcome
Oh i've danced with the darkness
I've heard evils lies
Felt the weight of my chains
Comin' down on my life
But i found the redemption
In the sacrifice
I've been saved by the truth
The truth of jesus christ
By his wounds i'm a warrior
By his word i'm made free
By the strength of the spirit
I will have victory
And no scheme is left standing
All fear it will fold
By the power of the father
Whose love will never let go
Glory, glory,
I see you on the throne
Glory, hallelujah,
Your love will overcome
Holy spirit, bring your healing
I receive it, i let it in
My father, oh how i love you
Be my first love, there's none before you
Glory, glory,
I see you on the throne
Glory, hallelujah,
Your love will overcome
