Ashes Under the Son of Righteousness (Pt3)

The night is over... The gates stand open in the morning And golden rivers fill the land The scars of ages now are fading Like footprints written in the sand No watchman walks upon the tower No soldier waits beside the wall No locks remain upon the doorways No fear remains at all The long war is over The darkness is gone And morning stretches farther than the eye can see Ashes beneath our feet Glory above our heads The King has made all things new Just as He said The former things have passed away Like shadows at the dawn Ashes beneath our feet And everlasting morning on No graveyards mark the hills before us No hospitals line crowded streets No hunger bends the backs of children No sorrow haunts their sleep The river sparkles through the nations The tree bears healing every year And every face reflects His sunlight Without a trace of fear The long war is over The darkness is gone And every tear has vanished in the light Ashes beneath our feet Glory above our heads The King has made all things new Just as He said The former things have passed away Like shadows at the dawn Ashes beneath our feet And everlasting morning on Where are the tyrants? Where are the kingdoms? Where are the idols? Where are the chains? Like smoke before the sunrise Like dust before the rain Their names are fading And only mercy remains Ashes beneath our feet Glory above our heads The Lamb is on His throne Just as He said The river of life is flowing The curse of death is gone Ashes beneath our feet And everlasting morning on Ashes beneath our feet And everlasting morning on The books are closed The gates stand open The night is gone The kingdom remains The books were opened The city still shines And He makes all things new Amen
