Lyrics
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,
And death shall be no more,
Neither shall there be mourning,
Nor crying, nor pain anymore,
For the former things have passed away.”
“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come!”
Revelation 21:3-4, 4:8
How I long to breathe the air of Heaven,
Where pain is gone and mercy fills the streets,
To look upon the One who bled to save me,
And walk with You for all eternity.
There will be a day
When all will bow before You!
There will be a day
When death will be no more!
Standing face to face,
With You, who died and rose again.
Holy, holy are You Lord!
And every prayer we prayed in desperation,
The songs of faith,
We sang through doubt and fear
In the end, we'll see that it was worth it,
When You return to wipe away our tears!
There will be a day
When all will bow before You!
There will be a day
When death will be no more!
Standing face to face,
With You, who died and rose again.
Holy, holy are You Lord!
And on that day, we join the resurrection
And stand beside the heroes of the faith.
With one voice, a thousand generations
Sing, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!"
And on that day, we join the resurrection
And stand beside the heroes of the faith.
With one voice, a thousand generations
Sing, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!"
Forever You shall reign!
So let it be today
We shout the Hymn of Heaven!
With angels and the Saints,
We raise a mighty roar!
Glory to our God,
Who gave us life beyond the grave!
Holy, holy are You Lord!
So let it be today
We shout the Hymn of Heaven!
With angels and the Saints,
We raise a mighty roar!
Glory to our, God,
Who gave us life beyond the grave!
Holy, holy are You Lord!
Holy, holy are You Lord!
