Revelation 21 is the Bible’s clearest portrait of eternity - John’s vision of a new heaven and earth, the holy city New Jerusalem descending like a bride, and God dwelling with his people forever.

Full sung version coming soon.

Lyrics

I saw a new heaven and a new earth For the first heaven and the first earth have passed away And the sea is no more I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem Coming down out of heaven from God Prepared like a bride adorned for her husband

I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying Behold, God’s dwelling is with people And he will dwell with them And they will be his people And God himself will be with them as their God

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes Death will be no more Neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more The first things have passed away

Behold, I am making all things new Write, for these words of God are faithful and true I am the Alpha and the Omega The Beginning and the End

I will give freely To him who is thirsty From the spring of the water of life He who overcomes, I will give him these things I will be his God And he will be my son

Come here, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain And showed me the holy city, Jerusalem Coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God Her light was like a most precious stone Like a jasper stone, clear as crystal

Twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels The wall of the city had twelve foundations The twelve gates were twelve pearls The street of the city was pure gold Like transparent glass

I saw no temple in it For the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple The city has no need for the sun or moon The glory of God illuminated it And its lamp is the Lamb

Behold, I am making all things new All things new All things new
