Waiting for a world brand new
I walk and talk and sing with you
of love forever, always true
Love has loved us first
In all things we have victory
through Christ in us
in you and me
he makes a picture others see
of who he is
he sets us free
Waiting for a world brand new
I walk and talk and sing to you
of love forever, always true
Love has loved us first
In all things we have victory
through Christ in us
in you and me
he makes a picture others see
of who he is
and who we’ll be
Christ is our life and liberty^1
in him we serve and move
Christ is our song
and he’s the light
burning through the dark of night
he holds our hearts
he holds our lives
he sets his people free
Waiting for a world brand new
where all is well
and we are too
we tell the tale of the faithful and true
who comes to ride and reign
worthy is the love who has bought us
the way and the truth and the life
worthy the lamb and the lion
who aids unafraid in the strife
he wept at the grave, in the garden
he cried out in pain on the cross
he called out for truth and for justice
Our gain is because of his loss
and now we have hope, resurrection
in the Son who is risen we’re free
night may endure for a moment
but in his light and forever we’ll see
he molded the dawn of creation
he is and he was the true light
and he lights the pathway to heaven
he’s our song
and he is our delight
behold the Lamb whose life poured out
a ransom for rebels and thieves
at the cross the ground is now level. ^2
Come, welcome, all weary – come and find rest;
come believe
he raises the needy from ashes
with princes he brings us to sit
he makes us the saints of his kingdom
with crowns that we cast at his feet
Hear O Israel
ever
Hear every nation and land
The king and the love of his people
is faithful and all hearts commands
the king and the bridegroom
approaches
with a scepter and scars on his hand
his kingdom – it now is advancing
his beauty – what nation resists?
Come rest in his love and find rescue
in he in whom all lives consist
he molded the dawn of creation
he is and he was the true light
and he lights the pathway to heaven
he’s our song
and our might
