Meaning & Inspiration
“Here Comes the Glory” is a worship chant, performed here by William McDowell with David and Nicole Binion, that announces the arrival of God’s presence. The opening refrain, “Here comes the glory of the Lord, sweeping in the room,” is repeated until it becomes a congregational declaration. The verses add confident claims: Heaven is on the move, Jesus is on the throne, and though the nations rage, God is in control.
The second verse describes the kingdom coming now, “changing the atmosphere,” and lists healing, miracles, signs, and wonders as happening right now. The bridge shifts to “Heaven is here right now,” answered by the repeated words “Here Comes Heaven.”
The language of glory filling a place recalls 2 Chronicles 5:13-14, where the cloud filled the house of the Lord, and the nations raging while God reigns is close to Psalm 46:6. The song’s repetition suits a gathered church worshiping expectantly.
