All creation’s longing – waiting for the day
Looking for the sons of God, for freedom from decay
Longing for the day when all will see your glory
So too we are yearning for your glory to be seen
Waiting for our sonship, your power in us revealed
Looking for the day when we will see your glory

And we will all be changed
As your presence fills this place
We can never be the same when we see your glory
See the radiant church arise
Show your glory in our lives
To become a spotless bride, we see your glory

We’re called to build a highway for Jesus to return
Called to raise the valleys, to straighten every turn
Called to be the ones who make a way for your glory
Restoring streets to live in, a city for your name
Restoring to your purpose, building for your fame
Raised up as a people to display your glory

When the captives are set free
And the blind again can see
And the poor find liberty, we see your glory
With the gospel shouted loud
Fill the earth with heaven’s sound
As the lost are being found, we see your glory

A people who have died with Christ, a people who are raised
A people who are one with Christ, hastening the day
Hastening the day when all will see your glory
The preaching of the gospel to every tribe and tongue
Is the sign that you have given that the end will come
The wondrous, awesome day when all will see your glory

And the dead in Christ shall rise
And we’ll be by your side
As your coming splits the skies, we’ll see your glory
And death will be no more
And we will be transformed
Every tongue cry ‘He is Lord’, we’ll see your glory
