Timeless King Hovering Over a formless earth At Your command Light began And You saw it was good  And with every word you gave  Each molecule obeyed The same is true today Sole creator Of all of nature You made all things good the next six days you were the mastermind of life and beauty of every kind and you were pleased with what you made the sum of your beauty on display   Just before You stopped to rest You created man in excellence  and in Your image, we were made You breathed Your breath and gave us life And seeing good, we're satisfied  Cause you made all things beautiful And still all things obey  And live within Your mandates Everything yields to Your command From every single star To every hardened heart You have not lost control From the simple things that children recognize To the mysteries that confound bright minds Of all the things things that are still to be uncovered  And the many things that will never be discovered  You're the brilliant Imagination That authored all of creation God of all creativity Forever absorbing the glory 

Look what’s happened to me It’s apparent the story has changed In an instant my innocence has vanished I’ve been expelled from paradise There’s a fatal flaw in my nature And now I’m a guilty man I’m an enemy of the Creator For I have blatantly disobeyed him I have irritated God. And I have defamed His glory I’ve tried to dethrone the Almighty King and take His place I sin because I am corrupt  I’m lethargic because my heart is depraved And it’s at the very core of who I am Not based on decisions I’ve made I have cheated on the one who had loved me I sold my soul at the very first chance that I had Now I carry God’s image no more Everything He made beautiful Now just causes me pain But I have brought it all on myself And there is nobody else to blame This was all planned for God’s glory He’s still controlling His story Look at what 's become of me I'm a cespool of humanity I’ll need a Savior to resuscitate me

A just and loving God Sending His only son into a world That was in love with everything but Him Yet before the dawn the time A plan had been designed To purpose this Son As a suffering sponge To absorb the wrath of God Blameless were his steps And perfect was His life Without a sin counted to Him God still was not satisfied Faithful to the father’s plan To die and reconcile man The Spotless Lamb, Butchered for man Finally quenched the thirst of God His bleeding did not save us His bleeding to death did But if He did not rise again We’d still be dead in our sins He was faithful to the cross And He’s forever faithful now to us We can confidently rest Knowing that His promises are true The rightful King will be restored And everything that’s spoiled will be renewed

The day will soon be here When the roar of rushing waters And crash of deafening thunder fill the air And we’ll become a bride  Whose completely satisfied  In our lover, forever He came into this world to take a wife And He has proved it with the cost of His own life He’s coming back to take us, but til then He's faithfully at work making us beautiful for Him Oh bride, don’t focus on Your scars He’s coming for our hearts And He’s forever ours And now because of what He’s done We can guarantee, a faithful bride we’ll be For all eternity He'll return to us and say “Come, Faithful Bride I am Yours and I will never leave Your side” And for the scope of all eternity we’ll see On earth how easily and simply we were pleased He wont leave His bride alone He'll find us beautiful again This was the reason we were made This is our wedding day

John Piper Quote: "The gospel is the rock of our solid assurance of the hope of the new heavens and the new earth. We will be raised, our bodies will be redeemed, the gospel of Christ crucified, providing pardon, providing righteousness, vindicating this by resurrection. All of that is true. it's just not the main thing. I'm concerned that we stop the message there and leave people with a sense that what the gospel does for them is get them out of hell, relieve them of their guilt, clothe them with a righteousness that lets them have relief in heaven forever, but they don't crave Christ. The ultimate good of the gospel is God Himself, beheld in the glory of His crucified and risen Son, enjoyed because of his infinite beauty, treasured because of his infinite worth, and reflected because we are being conformed to the image of His son. Christ suffered once, the righteous for the unrighteousness, that he might bring us to God. There is no end after that. The ultimate reason there is a new heavens and a new earth is because the risen Christ will never lay down His human body, but keep it as an everlasting emblem of Calvary where the glory of God's grace was displayed most fully. The whole material universe was created in the first place and then given new form so that the Son of God could be incarnate, could suffer, could be crucified, could rise from the dead, could reign as the God- man, could be surrounded by a countless host of redeemed people with glorified bodies who will sing with these glorified lips, and who will love each other with glorified hands, and will play with glorified bodies, to the glory of God. Because evidentially in God's scheme of things to have created mere-spirits would not display all of His manifold, kaleidoscopic glory as well as if there had been a physical universe where the son of God would physically be slaughtered." We will join with countless saints And forever gladly repeat this refrain: Praise to the slaughtered Son Your blood has ransomed us Worthy of praise forever Are You, our endless treasure And as far as we can see There are saints in white robes worshipping Every nation, people, tongue and race Are represented in the crowd that's on their face And we'll live in a city with no evil, no night For the glory of God will shine as our light And the Lord and the Lamb will forever be worshipped And things will be restored to the way they were purposed
