about

"This is a song devoted to a future day that will be at once terrible and beautiful - the return of the One who made all and through whom all hope is found. The return of the Creator to dwell with His creation. It is a reflection on the words of Jesus in Matthew 24-25, and a desire to be in that heavenly chorus of Revelation 19. It is a song of thanks and worship to the One who promises new life to people like ourselves who do not deserve it." - Chris Akers

lyrics

When the morning fades
And the world decays
And all the days are cold

From the grip of night
Comes a piercing light
The conqueror foretold

My God, Messiah glorified
My resurrected Lord
How could the one that I denied
Become my great reward?

When the multitude
Lifts a hallelujah,
Let me have a part

When their voices roar
For the Mighty Lord
I’ll sing with all my heart

My God, Messiah glorified
My resurrected Lord
My Jesus, whom I crucified
You are my great reward

There’s an endless stream
Pouring out of me
And flesh upon dry bone

All the old made new
As the Lord assumes His place
Upon the throne
