Lyrics
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
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
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
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
Chains fall
Fear bow
Here, now
Jesus, You change everything
Lives healed
Hope found
Here, now
Jesus, You change everything
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

Meaning & Inspiration
“Holy Ground - Show Us Your Glory” is a prayer for God’s presence to become unmistakable among gathered worshippers. The opening waits, seeks God’s face, and asks him to rule over the praise offered in that place. Its chorus answers divine glory with wonder and surrender, while the image of burning hearts as holy ground recalls biblical encounters in which God’s presence sets ordinary space apart.
The second verse rejects human power and might, locating life and access to God in the cross. That wording closely echoes Zechariah’s contrast between human strength and the work of God’s Spirit. The bridge then names the hoped-for effects of Christ’s presence: chains fall, fear bows, lives are healed, and hope is found. Together, these sections portray worship as both reverence and expectation. Seeing God’s glory leads to surrender and change, and the repeated appeal keeps Jesus at the center as the one who transforms lives.
