New Heavens & a New Earth
(Isaiah 65:17-25)

For behold, I’ll create new heavens,
and a new earth to replace the old.
From the mouth of the one true God,
these things to us were told.

 And behold, I shall create Jerusalem,
to give My people eternal gladness.
And never again will we hear in her
the sounds of mourning and sadness.

 For youth will live to a hundred,
old men will live out their days;
the one who does not reach a hundred,
will seem to be cursed in his ways.

We’ll build homes and live therein,
plant vineyards for fruit to eat;
and no one will take what is ours,
when Jesus takes His seat!

 Before we call, He’ll answer us;
while we’re speaking, He will hear.
The wolf and lamb will graze as one,
and nothing will cause us to fear!

 For behold, I’ll create new heavens,
and a new earth to replace the old.
From the mouth of the one true God,
these things to us were told.
