Beyond the Clouds *

 

BEYOND THE CLOUDS *

There's nothing new beneath the burning sun;
Time will twist 

(until God's done).
Still truth falls like rain, the weary soul to drench--

The fiery darts of the wicked: quenched.

Led from Babylon's groves to rest beneath the living tree--

We seek the will of God on humbled knees;

The Father in heaven hears,

(for Jesus bled, and wept)

Thus we know his word will be ever kept.

Beyond clouds so dark and heavy: still, God's throne.

It is the Lord that loves us: we are never alone.

As ambassadors of truth and light,

We are kept apart. 

We are not of the night.

Oh now see brother rail against brother, friend against friend--

But the Lord cometh in the clouds, the raging storm to end.

So we seek only Jesus-- our Redeemer, our King

And render to him-- 

Everything.
