Minute by minute,
Hour by hour,
We’re moving forward in the power of God;
Pulling down strongholds
In the mighty name of Jesus!
A day is coming when the world will see
A people living out their destiny:
To make God’s kingdom known,
See Satan overthrown,
And see salvation come to all the earth.
Oh, oh, we’re pushing back the darkness.
Oh, oh, we’re breaking through in faith.
Claiming this land for truth and justice
With every step that we take
