lyrics

Turn the Lights On/Amazing Grace

Verse I 
Turn the Lights on this is Heaven,
take off your coat and stay awhile.
We’ve got all the time, round’ here before time runs out. Say the nations are here, and the atmosphere
is like nothing I’ve ever felt.
I’ve been having me some conversations
in a strange new language,
words coming right outta’ my mouth.

And we’ve all just been signing the most beautiful song; it goes.  Chorus Hallelujah! Salvation and glory,  honor and power unto the Lord our God.

Verse II
I was welcomed in with a trumpet blast...
A trumpet blast, can you believe that?!
The tears wiped away from my eyes.
There was no more sorrow, no more pain, no more death,
no more brokenness; all the former things had passed away.

And we’ve all just been singing the most beautiful song.

Chorus 
Hallelujah! Salvation and glory,
honor and power unto the Lord our God.

Bridge 
When we’ve been there, ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praises
then when we first begun.

Turn the lights on.
