The Son became man to die for us
Gasp in wonder and follow humbly
All is subjected to King Jesus
Trust him and rest in His victory

Hold fast to Jesus the Better One
Near, Near, Draw Near
Draw near to God through His only Son

Cling to the true message ev’ry day

Jesus is the Final Spoken Word
Heir and Creator of everything
He is very God of very God
Upholder, our Savior, and our King

Behold the Son, the Davidic King
Righteous, victorious, forever
His angels serve Him and praises sing
Before our unchanging Creator

So stand in awe of the glor’ous Son
Honor Him with your lips and your life
Love the good, hate all sin, like the Son
Trust Him each day in this world of strife

Jesus is better than angel beings
Better than Adam and Moses too
A better hope of salvation brings
Better promise and covenant new
Fast, Fast, Hold fast
Hold fast to Jesus the Better One
Near, Near, Draw Near
Draw near to God through His only Son
A better sacrifice once for all
By His own blood He offers mercy
Proclaims a better reward for all
A better life in God’s own country
Fast, Fast, Hold fast
Hold fast to Jesus the Better One
Near, Near, Draw Near
Draw near to God through His only Son

To the tune of “Lo He Comes With Clouds Descending”
We are longing for the Garden, Living Water flowing through
Bright as crystal in this Eden, Life with God for me and you
We are longing, We are thirsting, We yearn for Christ to return
In this Garden – the Tree of Life, No more death, disease, aging
No more curse, no more cosmic strife, No more pain, sorrow, weeping
We are longing, We are thirsting, We yearn for Christ to return
In this Garden reigns the good King, Evil gone – there is no night
We will serve Him, His praise we’ll sing, Dwelling in His brilliant light
We are longing, We are thirsting, We yearn for Christ to return
In this Garden – His name bearing, Forever we’ll see His face
Close communion ever growing, Behold God’s amazing grace
We are longing, We are thirsting, We yearn for Christ to return
To the tune of “Lo He Comes With Clouds Descending”
Behold the Lamb’s glorious Bride, The Lord’s Holy City
The people for whom Jesus died, Arrayed with God’s glory
Dwelling in God’s brilliant presence, In loving unity
Forever in God’s remembrance, With radiant beauty
Behold our God’s new dwelling place, Ablaze with His glory
Home of the redeemed human race, The great holy city
The nations bring their glory in, The gates open always
There’ll be no wickedness or sin, In these glorious days
To the tune of “We Sing the Greatness of Our God”
I saw the new heaven and earth, And there was no more sea
The Bride of Christ came down to earth, As the Holy City
Behold with man God now dwelling, Our tears He’ll wipe away
No more death, pain, or suffering, On this joyful new day!
Behold God will make new all things, These words are trustworthy
The water of life from the Spring, Given to the thirsty
The one who conquers will receive, A place in God’s fam’ly
Turn from your sin, in Christ believe, These gifts accept freely
To the tune of “We Sing the Greatness of Our God”
See a great throne – earth and sky flee
Dead are judged by what they’ve done
Lake of Fire – great misery
For the sins that they have done
Run to Jesus, Plead for mercy
Be found in the Book of Life
To the tune of “Lo He Comes With Clouds Descending”
