Earth and Sky

Alive is He who bled and died
For our pardon, glory cried
   All our sins, in faith, He wore
   All God's wrath; in terror bore

The time is near
   For dark to flee
All who hate
   To bow the knee

The sky will leave,
     The earth will heave,
          Death will grieve

                                           Where will you be?

Something Lovely

Something lovely this way comes
Something grand and glorious

Something that will have no end
Someone, Someone, Comes again!

                Jesus Christ, Immanuel
               God is pleased with man to dwell

He will crush His enemies
Bring all kingdoms to their knees
           
He came a babe; years long past
Returns The Judge and King - at last!

               Jesus Christ, Son of God
               Claims the earth; He once trod

Lasting peace for those He greets
Happy coming when we meet

Life undying; death to sin
To Him - quick, the veil wears thin!

               Jesus Christ, Lord of love
               Kiss Him now, before He comes

Something Bright is on the way
The Great, long awaited Day

Something old which we've been told
Will with certainty unfold

                Jesus Christ, the Righteous One
                Marching in; His kingdom comes


               
                

Long Road

The road is so long, I wander along
                 Looking for signs of You
The dark is so dark, the shadows so strong,
                 Seems like forever to me
                 Feels like forever to me

                                                             A day is a day, a year is a year
                                                                         Eternity flows away
Flows out of my grasp, too far to see
                 Too far away for me



The night goes all night, shine me Your light
                 Dimly, so dimly, I see
Your face is enough, your grace is enough,
                 More than enough for me

                                                         A day's just a day, now is the day
                                                                 To believe you, to see, to breathe
Make your words to abound; a song of a sound
                 And the long won't be long anymore


Soon comes the Day, time will vanish away
                All will see You,  Evermore
Lord, pour out Your grace, 'til it breaks out a praise,
                And the dark won't be dark anymore

                                                             Yes, this is the day, of glorious grace
                                                                        Drop upon drop, a sea
Just a short stay away, 'til I see Your face
               And the long won't be long to me


The road's not so long, it's Yours after all
                 Narrow and straight as can be
The strong won't be strong, the light will go on
                 Brightly, brightly, we sing

                                                  Today's just this day; in this place I'll say
                                                          The road's not as long as it seems
And forever with you, when all is made new,
                  Seems very near to me
                  It seems very near to me
