New Order. (Revelation 21 v 3 - 6)

God is speaking loudly. His tabernacle
Is with men and will dwell with them and they
Will be His people and God will be with them
And having Him would utterly outweigh
All crying and all death, pain and sorrow
For He will wipe away their streaming tears
For all those former earthly things are passing
Ending forevermore those earth-bound fears.
Faithful and true, the words that He is saying
'Behold, I am making all things new,
I am Alpha and Omega, Beginning
And the End,' with each eternity in view
'I give the Living Water, like a fountain
Freely to those who thirst and overcome.'
And all can drink these waters never ending
The grand eternal Day of God has come.
This New Order, greater than our knowing
And bringing mighty love, the 'all things new'
Sparkling with life, eternal sunshine beaming
From Him who is the Holy and the True
This is the glory, He for us intended
Eden regained, the Lamb upon the throne
For He once slain, brings resurrected living
And worshippers transfixed by Him alone.
Mankind would seek to find a new world order
Promoting their achievements and their pride
The Great Deceiver's schemes and darkest winter
Sets all the marvellous works of God aside.
But God's redemption plan has sealed the mystery
Of holiness, salvation is beyond
The ken of angels, the Lamb's life-blood is flowing
A stream of Grace eternally has dawned!
