Lyrics

Life has its ups-and-downs

But neither knocked me on the ground

At times people cursed me out

Fame was far from being found

Family don't know my goals

My dearest can't get why I go

Why walk down the foolish road

Why so zealous for the Lord

And I say

Rather one day at His Threshold

Than a thousand days away

I have seen Him in his splendor

Nothing gets close to His face

Once you've seen the things that I see

You won't long to go on back

It's the secret of the Kingdom

A revelation He wants to hand

People call me vague and weird

'Cause I live my life for some King 

Invisible and forbidding

A cast member, supporting

Brothers tone down miracles

Sisters think I chase the show

A God who does the unthinkable

They say that He stopped long ago

And I say

Rather one day at His Threshold

Than a thousand days away

I have seen Him in his splendor

Nothing gets close to His face

Once you've seen the things that I see

You won't long to go on back

It's the secret of the Kingdom

A revelation He wants to hand

Who was, Who is and is to come

Who conquered death, the  Risen One

Who put his Spirit in our hearts

Whose work through us is far from done

The Lord, the healer, Lord provides

The Lord delivers, The Lord the Christ

The Spirit of wisdom, He who prophesies

The Spirit of power, Who makes the dead arise

And I say

Rather one day at His Threshold

Than a thousand days away

I have seen Him in his splendor

Nothing gets close to His face

Once you've seen the things that I see

You won't long to go on back

It's the secret of the Kingdom

A revelation He wants to hand
