Acquired in Heaven Songtext

von Beautiful Eulogy

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
Are 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,
Its joys,
And its 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 sin's 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!
