Great and Glorious, let the whole earth sing
Let it sing
The worlds shaking, with the love of God
Great and Glorious, let the whole earth sing
And people, we believe that...
God is bigger than the air I breathe
And the world we'll leave
God will save the day, and all will say
My Glorious, my Glorious
Clouds are breaking, heavens come to earth
Hearts awakening, let the church bells ring
And all You ever do, is change the old for new
And people, we believe that...
God is bigger than the air I breathe
And the world we'll leave
God will save the day, and all will say:
My Glorious, my Glorious
