Jesus is reigning over all
Building His church in love and grace
With hearts ablaze we will arise
Let the kingdom come in power
We will be a people prepared
Made holy and clean by the blood of the Lamb
Watching and waiting for Jesus’ return
Preparing our hearts like a Bride getting ready
And we will drink of the water of life
In that city where the Lord is the light
We hear You say You are coming soon
And the Spirit and the Bride say come
Redemption’s plan is now fulfilled
Angels and men are hushed before Him
Blood and shame give way to honour
Jesus comes in His splendour
