Lyrics
You gathered in one place
Your holy ones
Then there came from heaven
A glorious sound
Mighty, rushing wind
Waking every soul
Crowned with tongues of fire
This is the sound of heaven
Sons and daughters, prophesy
This is the sound of heaven
Spirit, make our hearts come alive
We gather today
Your holy ones
On earth we raise
A glorious praise
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
The name of Jesus
This is the sound of heaven
Sons and daughters, lift Him high
This is the sound of heaven
Spirit, make our hearts come alive
Holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
Holy, holy is the Lord Almighty, Almighty
...
This is the sound of heaven
Sons and daughters, lift Him high
This is the sound of heaven
Spirit, make our hearts come alive
This is the sound of heaven
Sons and daughters, lift Him high
This is the sound of heaven
Spirit, make our hearts come alive
Holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
Holy, holy is the Lord Almighty, Almighty
...
Spirit, send revival...
Spirit, send revival
You are in this place
Spirit, send revival
Set our hearts ablaze
Spirit, send revival
Let Your Kingdom come
On earth as it is in heaven
...

Meaning & Inspiration
“Sound of Heaven” draws its central imagery from the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The gathered holy ones, the sound from heaven, the rushing wind, and the tongues of fire closely follow the scene in Acts. Those images are not treated only as a past event; the song turns them into a present prayer that the Spirit would awaken hearts and empower sons and daughters to proclaim and exalt Jesus.
The confession that every knee will bow and every tongue will acknowledge Jesus broadens the focus from one gathering to the universal lordship of Christ. Repeated declarations of God’s holiness lead into petitions for revival, hearts set ablaze, and the arrival of God’s kingdom on earth as in heaven. The lyric therefore connects praise with spiritual renewal and witness. Its repeated appeals remain directed toward God, asking that His presence produce living faith, courageous proclamation, holy worship, and visible signs of His reign among the gathered people.
