(Verse 1)
In times of old, we heard the tales,
Of wonders wrought and mighty gales,
Of former glories, bright and grand,
God's power moving through the land.
Sometimes our present feels so small,
A whisper when we long to call
On greater things, a louder sound,
For heaven's presence to abound.
(Chorus)
But the glory of this latter house
Shall be greater than the former, now!
Saith the Lord of Hosts, it is His decree,
A mighty outpouring, for all to see!
He's building something grander, new,
His promised glory breaking through.
This latter glory, we declare,
Will fill this place beyond compare!
(Verse 2)
It's not by might, nor by our hand,
No human strength across the land
Can usher in the things to come,
Or call His Spirit to overcome.
It's by His breath, His living Word,
A fresh anointing to be heard.
He's stirring hearts, preparing ground,
Where richer blessings will be found.
(Chorus)
For the glory of this latter house
Shall be greater than the former, now!
Saith the Lord of Hosts, it is His decree,
A mighty outpouring, for all to see!
He's building something grander, new,
His promised glory breaking through.
This latter glory, we declare,
Will fill this place beyond compare!
(Bridge)
So lift your eyes, let faith arise,
Beyond what natural sight perceives.
The Father's plan, before our eyes,
A harvest coming, He believes!
He's calling forth His chosen ones,
To walk in power, shining sons.
Prepare the way, let trumpets sound,
A greater glory's all around!
(Chorus)
Oh, the glory of this latter house
Shall be greater than the former, now!
Saith the Lord of Hosts, it is His decree,
A mighty outpouring, for all to see!
He's building something grander, new,
His promised glory breaking through.
This latter glory, we declare,
Will fill this place beyond compare!
(Outro)
Greater glory, yes, we believe!
A latter glory, we receive!
(Repeat and fade)
