For a Thousand Years Lyrics

Get ready to fly

The door has closed behind us

All our bodies have changed

We have longingly waited for this

The peace tells me that we’re home

That we’re home

There He is

Can my soul fly up any higher?

Joy wonderful joy

He calls us to come before Him

He leads us to the city

The holy city

For a thousand years

We’ll be ruling with Him

At Jerusalem

For a thousand years

We’ll be reigning with Him

Over Israel

Israel is awake

The prodigals have returned

To keep the Holy Word

And to prosper in the kingdom

David the Prince is with them

Jesus the Lord

The high calling

We’re sitting upon the thrones

Highly exalted in honour

Blessed and holy are we

We’re ruling and reigning with Him

Over the world

For a thousand years

We’ll be ruling with Him

At Jerusalem

For a thousand years

We’ll be reigning with Him

Over Israel

For a thousand years

All sunsets to behold

With all His work before us

We’ll serve Him with all of our power

Jesus the King of kings

King of all nations

Judgment will come

And all that whoever lived

Will stand up before Him

And face the Lord their maker

To receive for the work of their hands

The work of their hands

For a thousand years

We’ll be ruling with Him

At Jerusalem

For a thousand years

We’ll be reigning with Him

Over Israel

For eternity

We’ll be living with Him

In the new heaven

For eternity

We’ll be singing Hallelujah

To the Mighty God
