Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
We have seen the glory of the Lord rise with broken lives restored
But not by governments nor fire
We have felt the touch of heavens hands mend the bones and hearts of man
But not by medicine nor idols
We have tasted mercy undeserved, bought for the children of the earth
But not by silver nor by gold, but by the One who left His throne
Ooh we've seen graves and oceans bow
Before human feet, dawn is breaking now
Darkness must retreat for the Son of God, He walks among us
We have heard the promise of a land where war will cease from among men
But not by presidents nor trials
We have seen the greatness of our King, hope that all will be redeemed
But not by military might, but by the Man who bled and died
Ooh we've seen graves and oceans bow
Before human feet, dawn is breaking now
Darkness must retreat for the Son of God, He walks among us
Ooh we've seen signs and wonders here
Held in human hands, a Kingdom carried near
Scorning hells demands for the Son of God's alive among us
Oh
He's alive among us
He's alive among us, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh we've seen graves and oceans bow
Before human feet, dawn is breaking now
Darkness must retreat for the Son of God, He walks among us
Ooh we've seen signs and wonders here
Held in human hands, a Kingdom carried near
Scorning hells demands for the Son of God's alive among us
Yeah, He's alive among us
He's alive among us
The Son of God's alive among us
He's alive among us
The Son of God's alive among us
