lyrics

I look around this world at the things Your hands have made
And I’m amazed at just the small part I can see
The way things work together, the way the seasons change
There are so many parts that are still a mystery

But creation isn’t perfect since sin has entered in
Groaning in labor pains till You set it right
Recreate your pride and joy and make all things brand new
With a land of no death, no sorrow, and no night

Now the mirror’s dim, but soon we’ll see You face to face
But right now it’s just the copies and shadows of that place

CHORUS:
Lord, I’m longing for that day
When I will finally hear you say
Well done, my child, you’ve finished a long race
Now come into my presence
And you can find your rest
There are no more copies and shadows in this place

You gave detailed instructions on how your temple should be built
And I imagine that it was glorious to behold
But the reason for those details was to give us a small glimpse
Of how it’s gonna look when we walk those streets of gold

Now the mirror’s dim, but soon we’ll see You face to face
But right now it’s just the copies and shadows of that place

CHORUS:
Lord, I’m longing for that day
When I will finally hear you say
Well done, my child, you’ve finished a long race
Now come into my presence
And you can find your rest
There are no more copies and shadows in this place

We sing our praise together and raise our hands to You
Making a joyful noise just as best we can
But when people from every nation gather round Your throne
There’s never going to be a better sounding band

Now the mirror’s dim, but soon we’ll see You face to face
But right now it’s just the copies and shadows of that place

CHORUS:
Lord, I’m longing for that day
When I will finally hear you say
Well done, my child, you’ve finished a long race
Now come into my presence
And you can find your rest
There are no more copies and shadows in this place
