Song Lyrics For Glory Coming Down

THE TIME IS NEAR
Dale Golden / BMI / Sounds of Gold Music

STANDING IN THE BATTLE FOR THE LORD
TRUSTING AND BELIEVING IN HIS WORD
OFTEN WEAK AND WEARY FROM THE FIGHT
BUT KNOWING SOON OUR FAITH WILL BECOME SIGHT

THE TIME IS NEAR TO HEAR THE TRUMPET SOUND
THE TIME IS NEAR WHEN WE’LL BE GLORY BOUND
THE TIME WHEN ALL WILL SEE THE VICTORY WON
THE TIME IS NEAR WHEN ALL THE SAINTS WILL RISE
THE TIME IS NEAR, LOOK TOWARD THE EASTERN SKIES
THE TIME WHEN WE WILL HEAR HIM SAY “WELL DONE”

WE MUST KEEP ON PRESSING TOWARD THE MARK
FOREVER CASTING LIGHT INTO THE DARK
LET HIS HIGHER CALLING BE OUR PRIZE
MAY WE BE FOUND WITH FAVOR IN HIS EYES

CHORUS X 3

HIS RETURN IS ALMOST HERE, THE TIME IS NEAR

GLORY COMING DOWN
Dale Golden / BMI / Sounds of Gold Music

HUNGRY AND GRUMBLING IN THE DESERT
GOD’S PEOPLE CRIED OUT “LORD WE MUST BE FED”
THEN MOSES SAID, “YOU HAVE BEEN HEARD”
“AND SOON YOU’LL KNOW GOD’S KEPT HIS WORD”
COME MORNING THE HEAVEN’S WILL RAIN BREAD

THEN THEY SAW HIS GLORY COMING DOWN
YES, THEY SAW HIS GLORY COMING DOWN
THERE IN THAT DRY AND BARREN LAND
THE MANNA FELL BY GOD’S OWN HAND
YES THEY SAW HIS GLORY COMING DOWN

WHEN IN MY SOUL I’M LONGING FOR REFRESHING
AND SATAN SAYS THERE IS NO HOPE FOR ME
I JUST LOOK TOWARD THE EASTERN SKY
AND KNOW THAT GOD WILL HEAR MY CRY
THEN POUR OUT HIS RAIN ALL OVER ME

THEN I SEE HIS GLORY COMING DOWN
YES, I SEE HIS GLORY COMING DOWN
THERE IN THAT DRY AND BARREN LAND
THE MANNA FALLS BY GOD’S OWN HAND
THEN I SEE HIS GLORY COMING DOWN

REPEAT CHORUS

THERE IN THAT DRY AND BARREN LAND
THE MANNA FALLS BY GOD’S OWN HAND
THEN I SEE HIS GLORY COMING DOWN

TURNAROUND CHORUS X2 AND TAG

BETTER THAN EVER
Dale Golden / BMI / Sounds of Gold Music

I WAS SINKING IN SIN
AND HAD FELL ON MY WAY
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING
I HAD SEEN BETTER DAYS
THAT’S WHEN I MET THE SAVIOR
AND HIS LOVE MADE ME SEE
THERE WAS A MUCH GREATER PLAN
HE HAD WAITING FOR ME

NOW I'M BETTER THAN EVER
BETTER THAN NEW
MY GOD MADE ME MORE THAN
MY TALENTS COULD DO
I WILL SHOUT TO THE WORLD
HE CAN MAKE THIS OF YOU
BETTER THAN EVER
BETTER THAN NEW

NOW I’M LIVING ON HIS WORD
GROWING CLOSER EACH DAY
TO HIS HAND I AM CLINGING
AND BY HIS SIDE SHALL I STAY
AND IF SOMEONE SHOULD ASK ME
HOW DID I MAKE IT THROUGH
I WILL TELL HOW HIS MERCY
MADE ME BETTER THAN NEW

CHORUS X 2

I WILL SHOUT TO THE WORLD
HE CAN MAKE THIS OF YOU
BETTER THAN EVER
BETTER THAN NEW

SWEET VALLEY OF REST
Dale Golden / BMI / Sounds of Gold Music

FOR YEARS NOW I’VE SEARCHED HIGH AND LOW
FOR THAT GROUND OVERFLOWING
THAT GOD HAS PREPARED JUST FOR ME
WITH HIS OWN MIGHTY HAND
FROM HEAVEN BEEN FED, THROUGH THE WILDERNESS LED,
O’RE THE ROUGH ROCKY PATHWAYS
BUT COME MORNING I’LL CROSS, NEVER MORE TO BE LOST
INTO CANAAN’S FAIR LAND

SWEET VALLEY OF REST, JUST OVER THIS MOUNTAIN
‘TIS WAITING FOR ME, FOR I’M NEAR THE CREST
HIS PROMISE IS MADE, WRITTEN IN RED, YES I’M GOING OVER
JUST ONE MORE TEST, THEN ALL WILL BE BLESSED
SWEET VALLEY OF REST

SOON MY EYES SHALL BEHOLD
IN ALL OF THEIR SPLENDOR
THOSE GREEN GRASSY FIELDS
AND WATERS SO SWEET
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE, WHAT WAITS THERE FOR ME
IN THAT LAND OF ABUNDANCE
NO MORE DOUBT AND FEAR, FOR I’M SOON DRAWING NEAR
TO MY JOURNEY COMPLETE

CHORUS X 2

HIS PROMISE IS MADE, WRITTEN IN RED, YES I’M GOING OVER
JUST ONE MORE TEST, THEN ALL WILL BE BLESSED
SWEET VALLEY OF REST

IF YOU COULD BE
Dale Golden / BMI / Sounds of Gold Music

BEATEN DOWN FROM THE BATTLE
SHIVERING OUT IN THE COLD
WONDERING IF I MIGHT DISCOVER
SOME PEACE OF MIND THAT I COULD HOLD
NO TIME FOR GOD OR FOR HIS PURPOSE
IN UTTER DARKNESS DID I ROAM
ON A ROAD BOUND FOR NOWHERE
WOULD I EVER MAKE IT HOME?

IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I HAVE SEEN
IF YOU COULD BE WHERE I HAVE BEEN
IN A PLACE SO FAR FROM GOD
IN FEAR HE’D NEVER COME AGAIN
BUT THEN I SAW HIM HANGING THERE
IN SACRIFICE FOR ALL MY SIN
FROM A PLACE YOU’D NEVER GO
IF YOU COULD BE WHERE I HAVE BEEN

HIS CALL TO ME CAME FROM THE SHADOWS
OF MY YESTERDAYS GONE BY
WHERE I LINGERED BY THE WAYSIDE
IN HOPE THAT I WOULD SURELY DIE
WITH LOVE FOR ME I TRIED TO SQUANDER
IN ALL THE YEARS I CURSED HIS NAME
HE JUST PATIENTLY KEPT CALLING
AND LOVING ME JUST THE SAME

CHORUS X 2

FROM A PLACE YOU’D NEVER GO
IF YOU COULD BE WHERE I HAVE BEEN

LOVE CAME CALLING MY NAME
Dale Golden / BMI / Sounds of Gold Music

I WAS WANDERING IN A LAND HARSH AND BITTER
WITH DARKNESS CLOSING IN ALL AROUND
CRYING OUT FOR SOME WAY OF DELIVERANCE
FROM THIS PATH OF DESTRUCTION I’D FOUND

STUMBLING AND WEAK FROM THE VENTURE
KNOWING MY COURSE WAS ALL WRONG
BUT THEN IN THE DISTANCE APPROACHING
CAME A VOICE SO FAMILIAR AND STRONG

LOVE CAME CALLING MY NAME
‘MIDST THE ROCKS, I LIE WOUNDED IN THE COLD WIND AND RAIN
A LOST LAMB, BRUISED AND BROKEN, BY THE SHEPHERD RECLAIMED
LOVE CAME CALLING MY NAME

AS A SINNER, FROM THE MOUNTAIN, I’D FALLEN
YET HE LEFT THE NINETY-AND-NINE
TO RESCUE ONE DESERVING TO PERISH
REFUSING TO LEAVE ME BEHIND

IN HIS STRONG ARMS HE CARRIED ME HOMEWARD
RETURNING ME BACK TO THE FOLD
IN HIS LOVING EMBRACE I FOUND REFUGE
FOREVER, LET THIS STORY BE TOLD

CHORUS X 2

A LOST LAMB, BRUISED AND BROKEN, BY THE SHEPHERD RECLAIMED
LOVE CAME CALLING MY NAME


I HEARD HIS VOICE
Dale Golden / BMI / Sounds of Gold Music

ALL ALONE IN THE DARKNESS
WITH A STORM PASSING BY
NO HAND TO HOLD ONTO
AND NO ONE TO HEAR MY CRY
I CALLED OUT FOR MERCY
TO MY LORD WITH ALL MY MIGHT
THEN I THANK GOD I HEARD HIS VOICE
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT

I HEARD HIS VOICE
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT
WHEN MY HEART WAS SO HEAVY
AND NO HOPE WAS LEFT IN SIGHT
IN A PLACE OF UTTER DARKNESS
LONGING SO MUCH FOR THE LIGHT
OH! I THANK GOD I HEARD HIS VOICE
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT

AS A PRISONER TO ILLNESS
IN A BODY RACKED WITH PAIN
I HAVE CRIED OUT IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
AND CALLED UPON HIS NAME
WHEN THE DARKNESS CLOSED IN
AND NO STRENGTH WAS LEFT TO FIGHT
THAT’S WHEN THANK GOD I HEARD HIS VOICE
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT

IN THOSE SECRET, TENDER MOMENTS
WHEN IT WAS JUST THE LORD AND ME
HE SAID, “I’VE BORE YOUR EVERY BURDEN”
AND “I’VE FELT YOUR AGONY”
“FOR IN YOUR WEAKNESS I’M MADE PERFECT
AND YOU’RE MADE STRONGER BY MY MIGHT”
OH! I THANK GOD I HEARD HIS VOICE
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT

CHORUS

THANK GOD I STILL HEAR HIS VOICE IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT

MIRACLE MAN
Dale Golden / BMI / Sounds of Gold Music

ONE DAY THERE WAS A WOMAN WHO JUST KNEW
THAT IN THE PRESSING CROWD THAT DUSTY DAY
A MAN WAS PASSING THROUGH
WHO COULD CHANGE HER LIFE COMPLETELY
BY JUST REACHING OUT HER HAND
SHE KNEW HER BODY WOULD BE HEALED
IF SHE COULD TOUCH THIS MIRACLE MAN

SO SHE JUST REACHED OUT AND TOUCHED HIS HOLY HEM
AND HIS HEALING POWER FLOWED THROUGH HER
AND MADE HER WHOLE AGAIN
BY HER FAITH IN HIM AND HIS MIGHTY POWER
SHE NEVER SEARCHED AGAIN
SHE FOUND HEALING IN THE GARMENT
OF THIS HEAVENLY MIRACLE MAN

MIRACLE MAN, MIRACLE MAN
AND HER LONGING TO TOUCH HIS GARMENTS HEM
FREED HER LIFE COMPLETELY BURDENED
FROM THE PUNISHMENT OF SIN
JUST HER SIMPLE CHILD-LIKE FAITH AND GOD’S OWN HEAVENLY MIRACLE MAN

MANY YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE SINCE THAT GREAT DAY
BUT THE HEALING POWER OF JESUS CHRIST
HAS NEVER WENT AWAY
HE IS WAITING FOR A TOUCH FROM YOU
BELIEVE RIGHT WHERE YOU STAND
AND FIND LIFE-RESTORING FAVOR IN THIS HEAVENLY MIRACLE MAN
MIRACLE MAN, MIRACLE MAN
AND YOUR LONGING TO TOUCH HIS GARMENTS HEM
WILL FREE YOUR LIFE COMPLETELY BURDENED
FROM THE PUNISHMENT OF SIN
JUST YOUR SIMPLE CHILD-LIKE FAITH AND GOD’S OWN HEAVENLY MIRACLE MAN

CHORUS REPEAT

JUST YOUR SIMPLE CHILD-LIKE FAITH AND GOD’S OWN HEAVENLY MIRACLE MAN

BEAUTIFUL CITY
Dale Golden / BMI / Sounds of Gold Music

I HEAR BELLS-A-RINGING
AS I ENTER THE GATE
HOLY ANGELS ARE SINGING
CELEBRATING MY FATE
ALL AROUND ME IS GLORY
WHAT A MARVELOUS SIGHT
IN THIS LAND THAT’S CALLED BEULAH
WHERE THE LAMB IS THE LIGHT

BEAUTIFUL CITY
BEAUTIFUL LAND
BESIDE SPARKLING WATERS
FULL OF WONDERS SO GRAND
SERENADED SO SWEETLY
BY GOD’S ANGEL BAND
BEAUTIFUL CITY
BEAUTIFUL LAND

IN MY MIND I’VE IMAGINED
IN MY HEART I’VE BELIEVED
THAT SOMEDAY I’D CROSS OVER
AND BY CHRIST BE RECEIVED
THERE I’D HEAR MY NAME CALLED OUT
FROM THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE
IN THAT LAND OF NO SORROW
NO STRUGGLE OR STRIFE

CHORUS X 2

SERENADED SO SWEETLY
BY GOD’S ANGEL BAND
BEAUTIFUL CITY
BEAUTIFUL LAND

WELL DONE
Dale Golden / BMI / Sounds of Gold Music

SOMEDAY SOON THE LORD SHALL CALL ME HOME
THROUGH THOSE GATES OF PEARL I WILL FLY
THERE TO EVER PRAISE HIM ON HIS THROWN
WHERE NO TEAR WILL DIM THE EYE

I WILL THEN BEHOLD HIS WONDROUS FACE
AND THERE I SHALL LIKE HIM BE
HOW MY HEART WILL TRULY JUMP FOR JOY
WHEN I HEAR HIM SAY TO ME

WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL CHILD
YOU HAVE RUN THE RACE
O’ER THE MANY MILES
YOU HAVE FOUGHT THE FIGHT
YOU HAVE KEPT THE FAITH
WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL CHILD

HOLY ANGELS SHALL BE SINGING PRAISE
OH WHAT GLORY WILL FILL THE AIR
THEN I’LL SEE A MANSION BUILT FOR ME
IN THAT CITY THAT IS MADE FOUR SQUARE

I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THAT GREAT DAY
WHEN I REAP FROM THE SEED I’VE SOWN
AS I HEAR THOSE WORDS FROM THE FATHERS VOICE
“YOU ARE MINE, BLESSED ONE WELCOME HOME”

CHORUS

YOU HAVE FOUGHT THE FIGHT
YOU HAVE KEPT THE FAITH
WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL CHILD

CHORUS
TAG REPEAT
