its the song of the redeemed, rising from the african plain
its the song of the forgiven, drowning out the amazon rain
the song of asian believers, filled with god's holy fire
its every tribe, every tongue, every nation, A love song born of a grateful choir

its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns

let it rise above the four winds, caught up in the heavenly sounds
let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals, to the faithful gathered underground
of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation, some were meant to persist
of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples, none rings truer than this

its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
its all gods children singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns

and all the powers of darkness, tremble at what they've just heard
cause all the powers of darkness, cant drown out a single word

when all gods children sing out glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
all gods children sing out glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
all gods people singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
all gods people singing glory glory, hallelujah he reigns, he reigns
glory glory, glory glory
glory glory hallelujah, he reigns
your my glory, your my glory, your my glory
oh glory glory, glory glory, glory glory
