Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Borne on silver wings of angels
Are the praises to our Savior, Lord and King
Should they somehow cease their everlasting vigil
The rocks would rise in chorus and would sing

Here below we join the heavens
Giving glory to the One who gave His all
Far beyond compare with any earthly treasure
Is the joy we find in answering the call

(Chorus)
See as lightning flashes
Hear as thunder crashes
As Your glory fills the sky
Destiny awaiting
Death and sorrow fading
As our hearts to heaven cry

(Verse 2)
Lord we thank You for the promise
Given to Your sons and daughters by Your grace
For the mercy and the care so warm and tender
For the loving Spirit flowing in this place

(Repeat Chorus)
See as lightning flashes
Hear as thunder crashes
As Your glory fills the sky
Destiny awaiting
Death and sorrow fading
As our hearts to heaven cry
