Additional lyrics by Sean Morris (verses 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 modified)
Chorus by Daniel Pursley
1. A Glorious Church to be,
Are those who heed the call;
The gathered saints all pure and clean,
Are filled-up all in all!
Chorus 2x
Holy Ghost draw near
As we draw near to thee
Come cleanse our hands and hearts
And make us pure,
As we draw near
2. The Holy Ghost is here,
The heathen r’made to say;
That awful jeer we no more hear,
No blasphemy this day!
3. I feel it to be true,
That Jesus Christ is mine!
His parting prayer is proven true,
His GLORY in real time!
Chorus
4. The Holy Ghost is here,
Where saints in prayer agree;
As Jesus' parting gift, He's near
Each pleading company.
5. In one accord we look,
We wait expectantly!
Cause Jesus said The Throne He took
The world would know and see!
6. Not far away is He,
To be by prayer brought nigh;
But here in present Majesty,
As in His courts on High.
Chorus
7. He dwells within our soul,
An ever welcome Guest;
He reigns with absolute control
As Monarch in the breast.
8. All prayers before Him are heard,
The lofty and the grande!
That Jesus Christ now on the earth,
In fullness stature stands!
Chorus 2x
9. Our bodies are His shrine,
And He th' indwelling Lord;
All hail, thou Comforter divine!
Be evermore adored.
10. Now for the end of this Age,
The Lord upon-us descends;
For reasons found on the Holy Page:
The Latter Rain He sends!
11. Obedient to Thy will,
And, lo, endowed with power!
I see my King, my heart is still:
His Kingdom in this hour!
