Lyrics · Isaiah
Behold, I Create New Heavens
Isaiah 60:1-3; 61:1-11; 65:17-25; 66:18-23
[Processional Chant]
Arise from the ash; your light has arrived,
Beauty for ashes, joy for mourning,
Though nations wear darkness, the glory will rise.
Praise where the heavy spirit had lain.
[Verse 1]
Good news for the meek, open doors for the bound,
A crown for the ashes laid low on the ground.
Build the old ruins, lift the broken stones,
[Bridge]
Let shame lose its name and the scattered come home.
As earth makes the seed and the garden makes praise,
[Chorus]
Beauty for ashes, joy for mourning,
Praise where the heavy spirit had lain.
Righteousness springs in the sight of the nations.
New heavens above and a new earth below,
[Verse 2]
No labor is stolen, no child born for woe.
Before they have finished, the answer is near,
From sabbath to sabbath all flesh worships here.
[Final Chorus]
Beauty for ashes, joy for mourning,
Praise where the heavy spirit had lain.
New heavens above and a new earth below,
From sabbath to sabbath all flesh worships here.
