We desire to build You a House O God
As precious living stones we gather, we gather to You
We each are redeemed by His precious blood
Being built up together as God’s household
Our love will flow to the ends of the universe
Our joy will grow and draw to God all nations on earth
Our city will light up the worlds of love!
We manifest the glory of God
New Jerusalem comes down from heaven,
out of heaven from God
With a foundation of all kinds of precious stones
Built upon the apostles, beautifully adorned
This is my family, this is my family
God’s household is you and me
The throne is where we shall meet
My only home it will be for all of eternity
The city of peace, for You and for me - New Jerusalem
We desire to be built as the house of God
As precious living stones we gather, we gather to You
Throughout the whole city, our unique shine
Displays a radiant show of coloured lights
And we each have our own story kissed by grace
Shining forth a different light
meeting God face to face
Reflecting and revealing a special shade
Of God’s manifold glorious rays
New Jerusalem, the dwelling place of God and man - our home
Is where the Father, Lord and Spirit poured Their all
Christ laid down His life and became our cornerstone
This is my family, this is my family
God’s household is you and me
The throne is where we shall meet
My only home it will be for all of eternity
The city of peace, for You and for me - New Jerusalem
Look the River of life flows from the throne of God
And a brilliant rainbow surrounds the throne
A spectrum of light glows through the city walls
His presence fills the city and the worlds of love
God has moved His throne down from heaven
And established it on earth, on earth forever
God’s tabernacle is indeed with man
The Trinity is here to stay ….
Immanuel, Immanuel
God dwells with us, God dwells with us,
Immanuel,
God dwells with us
Their dream has come true
God’s dream comes true!
