Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We want to see Jesus lifted high
A banner that flies across the land
That all men might see the truth and know
He is the way to Heaven

We want to see Jesus lifted high
A banner that flies across the land
That all men might see the truth and know
He is the way to Heaven

We want to see, we want to see
We want to see Jesus lifted high
We want to see, we want to see
We want to see Jesus lifted high

We want to see Jesus lifted high
A banner that flies across the land
That all men might see the truth and know
He is the way to Heaven

We want to see, we want to see
We want to see Jesus lifted high
We want to see, we want to see
We want to see Jesus lifted high

Step by step, we're moving forward
Little by little, taking ground
Every prayer a powerful weapon
Strongholds come tumbling down and down and down and down

We're gonna see, we're gonna see
We're gonna see Jesus lifted high
We're gonna see, we're gonna see
We're gonna see Jesus lifted high

We want to see Jesus lifted high
A banner that flies across the land
That all men might see the truth and know
He is the way to Heaven

We want to see Jesus lifted high
A banner that flies across the land




That all men might see the truth and know
He is the way to Heaven
