Song Meaning
Matty Mullins builds this song around the moment of Christ's return, opening with a posture of patient waiting for the day when what belongs to God is finally claimed. The imagery turns dramatic fast: the earth shaking, trumpets sounding, skyscrapers collapsing, and believers' feet lifting off the ground. That collision of cosmic upheaval and personal rescue is the song's engine — the same event that topples towers also raises the dead from their graves and restores a weary soul. The chorus repeats its single word, "Glory," like a banner waved over the wreckage, insisting that judgment and renewal arrive together. A quieter bridge shifts the focus to angels singing and a prayer for God's kingdom to come and His will to be done, echoing language familiar from the Lord's Prayer. What keeps the song from being merely apocalyptic spectacle is the line about being made new — the singer isn't just watching the world end, he's being remade inside it. The repeated trumpet refrain gives the whole piece a marching, anthemic feel, as if the congregation is meant to shout the word back until the sky actually opens.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Patiently waiting for your return.
Dream of the day when you come back and take what's yours.
The Earth begins to shake as the trumpets sound.
Skyscrapers crashing down!
When the trumpets begin to sound every knee will bow.
GLORY! GLORY! Skyscrapers crashing down, feet lifting off the ground.
GLORY! GLORY!
The dead rise from their graves & begin to move.
My weary soul is restored.
I have been made new.
When the trumpets begin to sound every knee will bow.
GLORY! GLORY! Skyscrapers crashing down, feet lifting off the ground.
GLORY! GLORY!
When the trumpets begin to sound every knee will bow.
GLORY! GLORY! Skyscrapers crashing down, feet lifting off the ground.
GLORY! GLORY!
I can hear the Angels singing.
Your Kingdom come.
Your will be done.
Oh I hear the Angels singing.
O' Holy one, Your Kingdom come!
When the trumpets begin to sound every knee will bow.
GLORY! GLORY! Skyscrapers crashing down, feet lifting off the ground.
GLORY! GLORY!
When the trumpets begin to sound every knee will bow.
GLORY! GLORY! Skyscrapers crashing down, feet lifting off the ground.
GLORY! GLORY!
