King of Glory

 

King of glory come on in You ancient doors open wide

The king of grace and glory Take the land of promise inside

For his promise is with Him And we're filled with holy awe

The place where He dwells in our hearts Is where he writes His law.

 

The King takes His rightful place Establishes his throne of grace

 

My heart is such a Canaan land Where infidels reside

He drives them out by his right arm He Opens the gate wide

His arm is not withered to save Darkness still flees from his light

For thought I am weak I can be strong By the power of his might

 

Not with a sword nor with a shield Nor with chariots and horses

But by the Spirit of the Lord His wonder he enforces.

 

The place where the risen reside In the presence of the King

Heaven in the haven of the heart And Glory he shall bring

As he heals our hearts he heals the land He breaks the fortress walls

And then the glory can pour out Before the darkness falls.
