You took the difficult path,

Even through the darts of his wrath.

You searched for the Treasure,

Seizing Him whose worth is beyond measure.

The kingdom is drawing nigh,

With King of Kings on his thigh.

There will be no more war no more pain,

Only victory and great gain.

His Word was true,

He has proved faithful through and through

The lion was slain, the sword battered and stained

Yet with one word he fell, then “peace, be still.”

Death will be swallowed up,

The grave will say ’enough’.

The final enemy destroyed,

The dark reaper we’ll avoid.

Wounded fell in the heat of the battle,

God will gather with neither a bone to rattle.

The true Shalom rest has begun,

Our Victor on the white horse has won.

Our redeemed hearts cry out,

With a great Shout,

As with one voice it arises,

Our joyful song filling the skies.

We have arrived

Let the celebration begin,

The cool breeze soothes our skin.

Our wide eyes gaze around with wonder,

The dark shroud is torn asunder.

There MUCH to our delight,

Behold, Our Captain shining bright.

With a rainbow around His throne,

We are finally home.

No more tears fill our eyes,

Only with one great cry,

The people shout and sing,

Hosanna and worthy is the King.
