🎶 Lyrics (Based on Psalm 24:1–10)

Verse 1 (Psalm 24:1–2)

The earth is Yours, O Lord, complete,

Its fullness rests beneath Your feet.

The seas You founded by Your hand,

Established firm the skies and land.

Verse 2 (Psalm 24:3–4)

Who may ascend Your holy hill?

Who dares approach, to seek Your will?

The one with hands and heart made clean,

Who lifts no soul to what is mean.

Chorus (Psalm 24:7–8)

Lift up your heads, O ancient gates,

Be lifted up, let glory wait!

The King of Glory shall come in —

Strong and mighty, pure from sin.

Verse 3 (Psalm 24:5–6)

He shall receive a blessing true,

From God whose righteousness shines through.

This is the generation near,

That seeks His face in holy fear.

Bridge (Psalm 24:9–10)

Lift up your heads, lift up your doors,

Make way for Him the heavens adore.

Who is this King, so strong and wise?

The Lord Almighty — glorified!

Final Chorus

Lift up your heads, O ancient gates!

The King of Glory radiates.

He enters in with power and grace —

Forever crowned, enthroned in praise.
