Petra's song 'The King Of Glory Shall Come In' draws from Psalm 24, celebrating God's majestic presence and His desire to dwell among His people. The lyrics recall the Ark's return to Jerusalem, then shift to a New Testament perspective, declaring believers as God's temple. The song emphasizes holiness, humility, and the invitation for Christ to enter our hearts. It blends worship with a call to personal surrender, portraying God as mighty in battle yet intimately near. The repeated refrain 'The King of Glory shall come in' reinforces the theme of divine entrance and salvation.

The Levites returned with the Ark of the Lord
The presence and strength of the God they adored
The temple was shut with the gatekeepers near
The priests would sing out till their nation could hear
Be lifted up everlasting doors
The King of Glory shall come in
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord strong and mighty
Open your gates to the Lord of Hosts
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord mighty in battle
The King of Glory shall come in
The King of Glory shall come in
Who can ascend to the hill of the Lord
Those with clean hands and an innocent heart
Who can be found in His holy place
Those who are humble and seek his face
Now we are the temple, He dwells in our hearts
The priesthood of faith that His Spirit imparts
This King is the One who can save from sin
He stands at the door and He wants to come in
