Hope & Life Restored!

Open up oh heavenly gates and let the King of Glory in!

Let all who live in poverty sing out and sing again!

The places of despair now flourishing with love, 

the places once thought hopeless

are now sanctuaries of His Kingdom.

All heaven sings over the plans of our God.

They sing out in chorus, the angles above:

"How marvelous! How majestic is our God and our King!

And how beautiful the feet of those who wear His signet ring!

They go forth in justice. They do His bidding with no complaint.

They lay down their lives for the Kingdom -- His love compels them to 

declare and speak!

"Oh who will go? Who will follow? 

Who will hear and take part

in the greatest show on earth, for this generation is marked!

For awhile it looked ugly, for awhile it looked bleak.

But the dawning of this day has shown 

that what God has started --

He will complete!"
