Acquired in Heaven

歌詞

On that day we will sing of the Name more excellent than angels A purified bride, a refined heart, speech and mind Where unity and fellowship is perfected in the church Where divine love rests in the hearts of the inhabitants of the new earth And receive a crown only to cast it down at the feet of the resurrected Jesus In a perfect ceaseless form of worship. Singing Glory! To the liberating King who came not to conquer kingdoms but conquer hearts and restore Men back to what they were intended for And escape from this life marked by anguish A great fountain of love that flows from heaven's gates awaits us You can take this world, it's joys, and it's fleeting pleasures But give us Jesus, our future hope and our greatest treasure The fulfillment of our expectation with nothing to separate us Nothing to hinder the saints from the greatest expression of adoration Finally fit with language to describe with the right words to express The richness of eternal possession, the blessing of inheritance Where God will be seen through purified eyes Purged from the sin that blinded us from viewing God as glorified Where love will be expressed with the perfect affection Until then, we wait with expectation for all that we will acquire in heaven Lord, You did everything required to save us and bring us Into Your presence so to know You and behold You is our hearts desire There is nothing higher, nothing greater to acquire Holy, Holy, Holy, is the song of the choir Your people sing Your praises, gathered from all the nations We were chosen to be holy and blameless before the earth's foundation And it's only on the basis of Your glorious grace And we will never grow tired of gazing upon Your face And falling before Your feet, worshipping at Your throne Your appearance is like carnelian and precious gemstones Like nothing we've ever seen, Your glory never fades The lamb of God who was slain to wash away sins stain We were ransomed by Your blood, Your loss was our gain And You live forevermore, Lord, forever You will reign The King of all Kings, Name above every Name And everyone who trusts in You will not be put to shame O Jesus, King most wonderful Thou Conqueror renowned, Thou Sweetness most ineffable, In whom all joys are found! O Jesus, Light of all below, Thou Fount of life and fire, Surpassing all the joys we know, And all we can desire-- May every heart confess Thy name And ever Thee adore And, seeking Thee, itself inflame To seek Thee more and more!
