GOD'S FINAL RESTING PLACE

ISAIAH 66:1-2 and REVELATION 21:1-4

Christian, do you know the reason
Father God set you apart?
Can you feel the warmth of passion
Flowing from His loving heart?

Our God reigns in pow’r and glory;
All of heaven is His throne,
Earth His footstool, yet He’s seeking
Human hearts to be His home.

Fellowship is what He longs for —
Hearts to be His resting place;
Humble, contrite, broken spirits;
Those who long to see His face.

All of history has one purpose —
Read it in God’s holy Word;
His desire that we should worship,
Truly love and serve our Lord.

In the book of Revelation,
At the closing of the age,
All God’s purposes completed,
Written there on every page —

There will be a brand new heaven;
All the old will pass away.
We will rise to be with Jesus,
Set free from our house of clay.

“Look!” cried John, “I see God’s city
Like a bride adorned in white,
Coming down from heaven’s glory.
What a splendid, wondrous sight!”

Then he heard the shout of triumph
Blaring like a trumpet blast,
“God has found His final dwelling;
He will live with men at last!”

Nothing left to come between us,
No more sorrow, death or pain;
Satan banished to hell’s fire,
Never to be seen again.

God will revel in the pleasure
Of His people’s company;
Every heart the Father’s dwelling,
Bound to Him eternally.
