I’m looking up
Holding out
Pressing forward
Without a doubt
Longing for the things unseen
Longing for things I believe
My true country

We hope and wait
For the glorious day
All tear will vanish
Wiped away
On the saints this day already shines
On the saints this day already shines
It already shines

We’ll be singing hallelujah
We’ll be singing hallelujah
At the top of our lungs, halle-le-lujah
(With all our breath, halle-le-lujah)
To Your glory, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

And I know that it’s coming
But I can’t see it now
And I’ve touched it in moments
But I can’t hold it yet
And it glows in the darkness
And it calls us away
To our true destination
To that glorious day
