We will give ourselves no rest
'Til Your kingdom comes on Earth
We've positioned watchmen on the walls
Now our prayers will flow like tears
'Til You've shared Your heart with us
God of heaven, on our knees we fall
Come down in power
Reveal Yourself again
Come hear our cries
The tears that plead for rain
Chorus:
We're knocking, knocking on the door of heaven
We're crying, crying for this generation
We're praying for Your Word to bear fruit
In all of the earth
We're watching, watching on the walls to see You
We're looking, looking for a time of breakthrough
We're praying for Your Word to bear through
In all of the earth, in all of the earth
