Kingdom Ascending

Through the ages, the refrains call
A kingdom rising beyond the fall
The world was shaped by fire and stone
Now his reign stands, the cornerstone

The tide is turning, the banners fly
Hope ignites beneath the sky
The gates of bronze are breaking wide
His justice flows like oceans’ tide

Lift your eyes to the throne above
Where mercy reigns and power moves
The kingdom ascends, unshaken, strong
A symphony of right from wrong

The battle is won, the victory near
The anthem of hope we boldly hear
Let all creation join the song
The kingdom ascends, where we belong

Through storm and shadow, we pressed ahead
The truth endured, though lies had spread
A mighty chorus now fills the air
The light of Christ beyond compare

No fear remains, no chains can bind
The dawn is here for all mankind
The heavens declare, the earth responds
The King is crowned, his will is done

Lift your eyes to the throne above
Where mercy reigns and power moves
The kingdom ascends, unshaken, strong
A symphony of right from wrong

The battle is won, the victory near
The anthem of hope we boldly hear
Let all creation join the song
The kingdom ascends, where we belong

Rise, oh nations, stand and proclaim
The glory of his eternal name
Mountains bow, and rivers sing
Every voice declares the King

He speaks, and the stars take flight
His word is fire, his reign is light
An unshaken kingdom, forever sure
Through endless ages, it will endure

Lift your eyes to the throne above
Where mercy reigns and power moves
The kingdom ascends, unshaken, strong
A symphony of right from wrong

The battle is won, the victory near
The anthem of hope we boldly hear
Let all creation join the song
The kingdom ascends, where we belong

From the first breath to the final day
His reign shall stand, come what may
The banners of heaven fill the sky
The kingdom ascends, it will never die
