Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

There is singing at the ancient gates

There?s a melody of ceaseless praise

Age to age the sound is only growing stronger

 

There?s a throne beneath the Name of Names

There is seated on it One who reigns

And His Kingdom now is here and getting closer

 

Praise Him like we?re there in glory

Here and now He?s just as holy

Jesus He?s so worthy of it all

 

He exists in everlasting light

So on heaven?s streets there is no night

Every tear is wiped away

We?ll know no sorrow

 

Worship Him with joyful sound

Sing until your voice gives out

No matter where or who?s around

Release your worship

 

Praise Him like we?re there in glory

Here and now He?s just as holy

Jesus He?s so worthy of it all

 

Bring your song He loves to hear it

Bring Him every prayer soaked lyric

Jesus He?s so worthy of it all

 

The one who was

The one who is

The one who is to come
