O for That Day

We are pilgrims on earth and we long to be home
 We were exiled in birth, then wandered alone
 Until Jesus, the Lamb who was slain in our place
 Redeemed us and claimed us His own
 We have hope in the place where suffering ends
 All our tears wiped away and worship ascends
 Where our Savior now sits at the right hand of God
 Our Defender, Redeemer, and Friend
 O for that day when our journey is ended
 All of our hope found in heaven's reward
 When we will have the Messiah forever
 And we will dwell in the house of the Lord
 Yes we will dwell in the house of the Lord
 We have dreamed of the streets that are covered with gold
 Where we'll walk with the saints in the city foretold
 King Jesus receives us as His perfect bride
 His love we'll forever behold
 O for that day when our journey is ended
 All of our hope found in heaven's reward
 When we will have the Messiah forever
 And we will dwell in the house of the Lord
 Yes we will dwell in the house of the Lord
 We all know of the day when He'll come to reclaim
 The earth from the beast, cast to the flame
 King Jesus, the just, the One faithful and true
 Will gather His children to reign
 O for that day when our journey is ended
 All of our hope found in heaven's reward
 When we will have the Messiah forever
 And we will dwell in the house of the Lord
 O for the day when we'll sing with the angels
 Hallelujah O Ancient of Days
 When we will have our Messiah forever
 Offering glory and honor and praise
 Offering glory and honor and praise
