Lift Up Your Heads (Stage Version)
[Chorus] Lift up your heads, O gates, Be lifted up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle! [Verse 1] Philistine night raid, snatched the Ark bold, Thought they stole power, but the power took hold. Set it by Dagon, idol couldn’t stay whole, Head split, hands off, face down, lost control. Plague swept the city, tumors struck the land, The glory too heavy for mortal hands. Passed it like a curse, couldn’t make a stand, The Ark’s no trophy, it’s the Lord’s command. [Chorus] Lift up your heads, O gates, Be lifted up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle! [Verse 2] Cows lowed uneasy, cart rolled divine, Philistines sent it back, crossed the borderline. Israel rejoiced, the Ark back in view, David danced wild, robe light, heart true. Uzzah reached out, struck down on the spot, Holy not to touch, the fear still taught. But the joy returned, the city in cheer, The King of glory’s presence drawing near. [Bridge] The earth is the Lord's, the fullness it holds, World and all who dwell, His name unfolds. He founded it firm, set it on the seas, The mountain of the Lord, only pure hearts please. [Chorus] Lift up your heads, O gates, Be lifted up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle!
