CREATION AWAITS

  Lyrics

Verse 1
I am alive, saved by your sacrifice
Death, overcome, glory dispels the night
You call the lifeless to wake from death to life
Out of darkness arise

Verse 2
I am set free, saved from the power of sin
Guilt, overcome, your Spirit at work within
You break the chains of the law, I am released
From the burden of sin

Chorus
Now we cry, “Father”, we are your children
We are adopted as your own
No condemnation, we are forgiven
Nothing can take us from your love

Verse 3
I am redeemed, raised with my saviour Christ
Fear, overcome, I will be glorified
You will forever defend and stand beside
I am safe in your love

Bridge
Creation awaits the glorious day
When Jesus returns and trials will fade

  Sample Introduction

This next song explores the tension of Romans 8, that we are redeemed but groaning along with creation for the glorious day when Jesus returns. So let us fix our eyes on Christ as we wait for his return and the inauguration of the new creation.
