Glory
Selah & Nichole Nordeman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day eyes that are blind will see You clearly
One day all who deny will finally believe
One day hearts made of stone will break in pieces
One day chains once unbroken will fall down at Your feet
So we wait for that one day, come quickly

We wanna see Your glory
Every knee falls down before Thee

Every tongue offers You praise with every hand raised
Singing glory to You and unto You only
We'll sing glory to Your name

One day voices that lie will all be silenced
One day all that's divided will be whole again
One day death will retreat and wave it's white flag
One day love will defeat the strongest enemy
So we wait for that one day, come quickly

We wanna see Your glory
Every knee falls down before Thee
Every tongue offers You praise with every hand raised
Singing glory to You and unto You only
We'll sing glory to Your name

We know not today or the hour
Or the moments in between
But we know the end of the story
When we'll see

Your glory
Every knee falls down before Thee
Every tongue offers You praise with every hand raised

Singing glory to You and unto You only
We'll sing glory to Your name, oh one day
