When the King arrives
All that is mortal will vanish like snow
Right before our eyes
Swallowed up by life
But until that day
We will hold on
And this hope that we have
Won’t be put to shame
For it’s in His name
He puts heaven in our hearts
We will never settle for less
We are on our way
To a city that our King prepared
We will meet Him there
We will, we will sing His praise
He will gather us from everywhere
We will meet Him there
Are you coming?
We are strangers here
God’s chosen people
bought by His blood
What is left to fear
Salvation’s near
So by grace we rise
We keep pressing on
For wha’s yet to come
Laying down our lives
To receive the price
He puts heaven in our hearts
We will never settle for less
We are on our way
To a city that our King prepared
We will meet Him there
We will, we will sing His praise
He will gather us from everywhere
We will meet Him there
Are you coming?
He puts heaven in our hearts 4x
We will never settle for less
