Awaiting for that DAY!

I was reminded of this song today. And it gives me such joy to look forward to that Day when Jesus returns again because all things are made new and everything is back to how it should have been in the beginning.

When He returns

We await a better place
Where God is on the throne
Where knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth
The heavens and the earth renewed
A city built by God
Descending from the sky , prepared for us

When He returns, the people of the kingdom will rejoice
When He returns, creation will bow down
When He returns, He'll gather His people to Him
And take us to the city of our God
And we'll enter His courts with praise

We await a better place
Where there is no more fear
And God has wiped the tears from our eyes
The One who sits upon the throne
Is making all things new
The people of God will worship Him
