Soon To Dust And Glory By Tobin Alford
“In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory”

lyrics
Verse 1
Soon to dust and to glory
Soon from hope to hope
Close a chapter of the story
And soon to Jesus we’ll go
Chorus 1
Singing holy holy holy is the Lord
Before the throne
As we behold your glory evermore
Almighty everlasting
Worthy of all crowns
Before the King of Majesty
Forever we will bow
Verse 2
With all the saints and the elders
In heavenly robes of white
With all the heavenly creatures
Shining in heavenly light
Chorus 2
Singing holy holy holy is the Lord
Before the throne
As we behold your glory evermore
Almighty everlasting
Worthy of all crowns
Before the King of Majesty
Forever we will bow
Bridge 1
There’s no more hurt or tears
There’s no more fear to fear
Never again shall
We see death draw near
The Lamb took all the sin
Now life will never end
And forever
We will get to face Him
Bridge 2
There’s no more hurt or tears
There’s no more fear to fear
Never again shall
We see death draw near
The Lamb took all the sin
Now life will never end
And forever
We will get to face Him
Chorus 3
Singing holy holy holy is the Lord
Before the throne
As we behold Your glory evermore
Almighty everlasting
Worthy of all crowns
Before the King of Majesty
Forever we will bow
