Lyrics

I see the King of Glo ry

(Em)com ing on the clouds with fire;

the whole earth shakes,

the whole earth shakes.

I see His love and mer cy

(Em)wash ing o ver all our sin;

the peo ple sing,

the peo ple sing.

Ho san

na, ho san

na,

ho (C)san na in the (Em7)high est.

Ho san

na, ho san

na,

ho (C)san na in the (D)high est.

I see a gen er a tion

(Em)ris ing up to take their place

with self less faith,

the self less faith.

I see a near re vi val

(Em)stir ring as we pray and sing;

we’re on our knees,

the on our knees.

Ho san

na, ho san

na,

ho (C)san na in the (Em7)high est.

Ho san

na, ho san

na,

ho (C)san na in the (D)high est.

(C)Heal my heart and make it clean,

(G)o pen up my eyes to the (Em7)things un seen.

(C)Show me how to love like You

have loved

me.

Ho san

ho (C)san na in the (Em7)high est.

Ho san

na, ho san

ho (C)san na in the (D)high est.

Ho san (C)san na in the (D)high est,

ho (C)san na in the (D)high est.
