Jesus high King of heaven
We bring our high praise to You
Jesus high King of heaven
To whom all high praise is due
Pausing listening hear the voice of Jesus
Resting in the presence of the Lord
Waiting ready spending time together
Holy Spirit come anoint us as we pray
Touching healing like an ointment soothing
Breathing in the fragrance of the Lord
Speaking revealing guide us upward believing
In triumph through heaven’s open door
Remove the shoes from your feet
Lift your eyes to the mercy seat
Can’t you see that the veil is torn in two
For this is hallowed ground where we stand
Let us fall before His throne
For this is hallowed ground
Thou art holy Thou art the Lord
Gazing upward into the face of Jesus
Basking in the presence of the Lord
Shekinah glory shining brighter than the sunlight
Chasing shadows from every corner of our lives
We take our place at the Father’s feet
Ready for the marriage feast
Join with all creation in heaven’s praise
For this is hallowed ground where we stand
Let us rise before His throne
For this is hallowed ground
Thou art holy Thou art the Lord
