Lyrics and Longings

Heaven’s heart is pulsing
to Creation’s hymn:
as the Father speaks, the
new world starts to sing.
Light and love are radiant - 
everything is good.
All the world is ringing
with the song of God.

Say among the nations,
‘let the earth rejoice,
for the Lord is worthy
of our highest praise’.

Golden on the hillside,
shines the evening light.
All of heaven’s palette
shades the infinite.
Every life is marked as
God’s own work of art:
won, through cross and suffering;
saved and set apart.

Say among the nations,
‘let the earth rejoice,
for the Lord is worthy
of our highest praise’.

Now Salvation’s rhythm
moves our feet and hands:
‘do the works of justice’
is the Grace command.
Make us more than singers
in redemption’s choir,
so the lives around us
see our hearts on fire.

Say among the nations,
‘let the earth rejoice,
for the Lord is worthy
of our highest praise’.
