O for That Day

We are pilgrims on earth and we long to be home We were exiled in birth, then wandered alone Until Jesus, the Lamb who was slain in our place Redeemed us and claimed us His own We have hope in the place where suffering ends All our tears wiped away and worship ascends Where our Savior now sits at the right hand of God Our Defender, Redeemer, and Friend O for that day when our journey is ended All of our hope found in heaven's reward When we will have the Messiah forever And we will dwell in the house of the Lord Yes we will dwell in the house of the Lord We have dreamed of the streets that are covered with gold Where we'll walk with the saints in the city foretold King Jesus receives us as His perfect bride His love we'll forever behold O for that day when our journey is ended All of our hope found in heaven's reward When we will have the Messiah forever And we will dwell in the house of the Lord Yes we will dwell in the house of the Lord We all know of the day when He'll come to reclaim The earth from the beast, cast to the flame King Jesus, the just, the One faithful and true Will gather His children to reign O for that day when our journey is ended All of our hope found in heaven's reward When we will have the Messiah forever And we will dwell in the house of the Lord O for the day when we'll sing with the angels Hallelujah O Ancient of Days When we will have our Messiah forever Offering glory and honor and praise Offering glory and honor and praise
