Shadows

Intro (2x) verse 1 This earth’s a shadow, it won’t last Like every flower it will pass And the sky will be rolled up someday and put away Like an old worn-out garment They will perish and be changed Every fearfully tall mountain Will vanish from its place But Your throne Oh God Is forever and ever And your kingdom Oh God Stands on steady righteousness Though You laid earthly foundations They’ll pass to herald your new creation You’re doing a new thing In us Through Your righteousness verse 2 Even sun and moon and stars Will be burned up where they are Their magnitude is nothing when it stands against Your hand And with a mighty thundering roar The façade will dissolve that is the world And we’ll be aware – our eyes wide open That we’re naked before You But Your throne Oh God Is forever and ever And your kingdom Oh God Stands on steady righteousness Though You laid earthly foundations They’ll pass to herald your new creation You’re doing a new thing In us Through Your righteousness verse 3 Lord we hasten on this day Of Your coming so grand and plain We seek to live our lives in Holiness We wait for the new heavens And the new earth you will make In which only righteousness dwells! But Your throne Oh God Is forever and ever And your kingdom Oh God Stands on steady righteousness Though You laid earthly foundations They’ll pass to herald your new creation You’re doing a new thing In us Through Your righteousness Bridge You work, and who can turn it back? We’ll remember not the things of old Nor will we say that the former days were better Christ Jesus sits at the Father’s hand His work is done, the kingdom ushered in He’s made a path in the wilderness That reaches Jordan’s other shore But Your throne Oh God Is forever and ever And your kingdom Oh God Stands on steady righteousness Though You laid earthly foundations They’ll pass to herald your new creation You’re doing a new thing In us Through Your righteousness Outro
