THE GOLDEN AGE

 

 

 

 

You’re worthy to receive, honor and praise

We need Your mercy, oh Ancient of Days

We sing Your praise, oh Great I Am

Waiting for the day, the lion lays with the lamb

 

You’re the Author and Finisher of our faith

Father we minister by the power of Your name

You’re the One who made this universe

Alpha and Omega, the Last and the First

     

God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

The One we see when we rise and wake up

Giver of breath, we stand in awe

Good Shepherd, and Lamb of God

        

To save our race, You became a man       

They drove stakes into Your feet and hands

A man of sorrows, acquainted with grief

Your tomb was borrowed, You hung -- between two thieves

You came to Your own and they were blown away

 When, three days later, the stone was rolled away

They read the scrolls from the olden days

That said Messiah must come to show the way

But no one knows the toll it takes

To usher in, the Golden Age

 

You blotted out our sins and washed ‘em all away

You are the potter, and we are the clay           

Only the Father knows the hour or the day

You’ll come in power and usher in, the Golden Age

 

The Golden Age when Messiah reigns

You’ll bind the father of lies in iron chains

We won’t need fighter planes

Or vaccines for virus strains

 

Since time began, it’s always been Your plan

To save the human race, You became a man

No one can take Your place or take us from Your  hand

As we wait for the day, the lion lays, with the lamb
