The earth, she groans in fear With war and hunger here The right seems very wrong The weak crushed by the strong Souls in exile cry Bound by the chains of night Longing to be set free Oh how we want to see Graves burst open wide And His glorious bride In majesty will rise One day soon when the healing comes The wicked rule the day The faithful lose their way It's hard to comprehend The world we're living in Where kings and nations rage And children learn to hate His coming must be near How long until we hear Graves burst open wide And His glorious bride In majesty will rise One day soon when the healing comes All heartache will be gone We'll be gathered home To sing redemption's song When the healing comes When in love the Father says "no more tears No death, no fear, no suffering" Then Jesus will appear Graves burst open wide And His glorious bride (His glorious bride) In majesty will rise When he comes, when Jesus comes All heartache will be gone (oh yeah) And we'll be gathered home (we'll be going home) To sing redemption's song When the healing comes Graves burst open wide And His glorious bride In majesty will rise One day soon when the healing comes All heartache will be gone And we'll be gathered home To sing redemption's song When the healing comes When the healing comes When the race is run And the crown is won We'll hear Him say "well done" When the healing comes When the healing comes
