Our Hope
No more the tears of injury no more the guilt and shame
No more the persecution for the speaking of the Name
That's healed the brokenhearted freed and made the blind to see
That's made the lame to walk again and formed eternity
Yes sooner than we've thought before Christ Jesus will appear
The darkness will give way to Light and all the earth will hear
The trumpet of the Lord resound throughout the land and sky
And all the faithful to His plan will live and never die
But those who are ungodly who have spit upon His Word
Who've lived in base denial of the Truth that they have heard
Will like the chaff be blown away removed for all their sin
That they refused to give to God Who makes us new again
Because they would not hear Him though the many times He tried
To introduce them to the Truth and Love for which He died
And would not give their selfish hearts by faith to be His throne
Would not allow His Spirit by His grace to make them known
As children of the One God Who before all space and time
Planned out the very life of each of us to help us climb
Above the dark and chaos of this world immersed in sin
To realms of joy and glory where the saints are welcomed in
Into His very presence where the Light of Life will be
The focus of the chosen throughout all eternity
From nature we've not seen before to scars our Lord will bear
That illustrate how truly deep is our Creator's care
That could not leave us helpless hopeless of the coming day
When Christ Who is our Hope and Stay will wipe all tears away
And make the waiting just like Him who stands beside the grave
Of those who will be raised again who trusted Him to save
Them from a lost eternity no more to know His love
The way the lost who hate the Truth will be as spoken of
Through passages in scriptures they refused to hear or see
That illustrate the destiny Christ taught with verity
So friend if you've not met Him Who is calling you today
Not fallen hard upon the Rock that takes our sin away
Ask Him to come within your heart and make you new again
That when He comes He'll see in you the child He died to gain
Revelation 22
