I’m building a city
A people of power
Filled with My glory
Reflecting My light
You are that city
And you shall behold Me
Showing all nations
God reigning in might
I have built in My people a temple
In you I live My good pleasure to do
Yet I have more
Lift your eyes and look further
For I am building a city in you
