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.
