God has been at work
Through the ages, 'round the world
At its best, tradition
Is the Spirit's voice, distilled
Let us bless and cherish
What our God has revealed
Let us honor these roots together

Chorus:
Step by step, side by side
We will walk together
Hand in hand, left and right
There is just one body
In our Lord Jesus Christ
We will live as one, together

When our time on Earth is over, and we say goodbye to this life
We'll wake up to meet our Maker and receive our reward
In an instant of perfect vision, we'll see where we wasted our time
In all that we built without waiting on the Lord

Chorus:
Everything falls, everything fails
Except for the One whom the angels hail, crying...
Glory, glory, hallelujah
The Lord in heaven is laughing
The plans of the politicians are visions in vain
Don't put your hope in the things that won't last
Build on the One who is worthy, singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
