I was glad when they said unto me
Let us go to the house of the Lord
I was glad when they said unto me
Let us go to the house of the Lord
And the goodness of our God
Will freely flow
And the purpose of the Lord
Will then unfold
The tribes of the Lord
Will rise to sing
And worship the Lord
Of everything
And the King will be the
Centrepiece of praise
And the glory of our God
Will be released
And the kingdom of the Lord
Will then increase
A place where the love of God runs deep
And joy everlasting flows so sweet
And the King will be the
Centrepiece of praise
We’re marching up to Zion
To a higher place
We’re marching up to Zion
We want to seek His face
We’re marching up to Zion
To a higher place
We’re marching up to Zion
Let us go to the house of the Lord
Let us go to the house of the Lord
