Lyrics
Verse 1
Here as we wait
Seek Your face
Come and make Your throne upon our praise
Here in this place
Have Your way
The moment that we see You, we are changed
Chorus
Show us Your glory
Show us Your glory
In wonder and surrender we fall down
Show us Your glory
Show us Your glory
Let every burning heart be holy ground
Verse 2
Here, not by power
Not by might
But only by the cross we come alive
Here, we're undone
Overcome
By heaven's love revealed before our eyes
Chorus
Show us Your glory
Show us Your glory
In wonder and surrender we fall down
Show us Your glory
Show us Your glory
Let every burning heart be holy ground

Bridge
Chains fall
Fear bow
Here, now
Jesus, you change everything
Lives healed
Hope found
Here, now
Jesus, you change everything

Meaning & Inspiration
“Holy Ground” presents worship as an encounter with the presence and glory of God. The opening verse waits, seeks God’s face, and asks him to rule within the gathered praise. Wonder and surrender shape the chorus, where holiness is not limited to a physical site but marks hearts awakened by divine presence.
The second verse contrasts human strength with life received through the cross, closely echoing Zechariah 4:6. Its language of being changed while beholding glory also aligns with 2 Corinthians 3:18. The bridge then names concrete signs of Christ’s transforming authority: chains fall, fear bows, lives are healed, and hope is found. Exodus 3:5 supplies the central image of holy ground, while the song applies that image to worship offered in expectation of God’s nearness. Across its sections, the lyric moves from waiting to surrender and then to confident proclamation, keeping Jesus at the center of freedom, restoration, and change.
