Anxiously Awaiting Heaven

I am ready for Jesus to deliver the final blow to sin and death. I praise God that we fight a vanquished foe. I praise God that we are in a battle with a beaten adversary. But, as we each know sin still has some power. It still creeps out and wages war in us (Romans 7). So, I eagerly await my Savior. This is how my heart is worshipping... these are the lyrics of Hillsong United's new track from Across the Earth:

On the day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace

All my fears swept away
In the light of Your embrace
Where Your love is all I need
and forever I am free

Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven rise to You alone

No weeping
No hurt or pain
No suffering
You hold me now, You hold me now
No darkness
No sick or lame
No hiding
You hold me now, You hold me now

In this life I would stand
through my joy and my pain
Knowing there’s a greater day
There's a hope that never fades

Where Your name is lifted high
and forever praises rise
For the glory of Your name
I'm believing for the day

Where the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven rise to You alone

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name
