verse 1
This earth?s a shadow, it won?t last
Like every flower it will pass
And the sky will be rolled up someday
and put away
Like an old worn-out garment
They will perish and be changed
Every fearfully tall mountain
Will vanish from its place
But Your throne Oh God
Is forever and ever
And your kingdom Oh God
Stands on steady righteousness
Though You laid earthly foundations
They?ll pass to herald your new creation
You?re doing a new thing
In us
Through Your righteousness
verse 2
Even sun and moon and stars
Will be burned up where they are
Their magnitude is nothing when it
stands against Your hand
And with a mighty thundering roar
The façade will dissolve that is the world
And we?ll be aware ? our eyes wide open
That we?re naked before You
But Your throne Oh God
Is forever and ever
And your kingdom Oh God
Stands on steady righteousness
Though You laid earthly foundations
They?ll pass to herald your new creation
You?re doing a new thing
In us
Through Your righteousness
verse 3
Lord we hasten on this day
Of Your coming so grand and plain
We seek to live our lives in
Holiness
We wait for the new heavens
And the new earth you will make
In which only righteousness
dwells!
But Your throne Oh God
Is forever and ever
And your kingdom Oh God
Stands on steady righteousness
Though You laid earthly foundations
They?ll pass to herald your new creation
You?re doing a new thing
In us
Through Your righteousness
Bridge
You work, and who can turn it back?
We?ll remember not the things of old
Nor will we say that the former days
were better
Christ Jesus sits at the Father?s hand
His work is done, the kingdom ushered in
He?s made a path in the wilderness
That reaches Jordan?s other shore
But Your throne Oh God
Is forever and ever
And your kingdom Oh God
Stands on steady righteousness
Though You laid earthly foundations
They?ll pass to herald your new creation
You?re doing a new thing
In us
Through Your righteousness
