When the stars burn down and the earth wears out
And we stand before the throne
With the witnesses who have gone before
We will rise and all applaud
Singing blessing and honor, and glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, and glory and power
Forever to our God
When the hands of time wind fully down
And the earth is rolled up like a scroll
The trumpets will call and the world will fall
To its knees as we all go home
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Star of the morning
Light of salvation
Majesty
God of all mysteries
Lord of the universe
Righteous king
Star of the morning
Light of salvation
Majesty
God of all mysteries
Lord of the universe
Righteous king
There will come a day, standing face to face
In a moment we will be like Him
He will wipe our eyes dry
Take us up to His side
And forever we will be His
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Star of the morning
Light of salvation
Majesty
God of all mysteries
Lord of the universe
Righteous king
Star of the morning
Light of salvation
Majesty
God of all mysteries
Lord of the universe
Righteous king
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
We bring blessing and honor
Forever to our God
We bring blessing and honor, glory and power
You are high and lifted up
You are high and lifted up
