Intro (spoken, low, reverent) This world is passing away. But the promises of God… They still stand. Verse 1 (Condemnation / Wake-Up Call) They crowned the dust and called it king Built their homes on fading things Loved the night, despised the truth Traded heaven for the use Wide is the road, crowded gate Laughing while they seal their fate But the Word still cuts the same Calling out our secret names Chorus (Hope Introduced) But greater is the hope we’re given Greater than this life can be Eye has not seen what waits in heaven Things no mind could dream or speak Hold fast now, don’t grow faint This light affliction’s short in weight What’s coming soon will never fade Greater is the promise made Verse 2 (Separation / Identity) Come out from them, be separate Don’t wear the world like it’s your name You were bought with holy blood You don’t belong to what they love They chase the gold, we seek the crown They live for now, we kneel down Strangers here, just passing through Our citizenship is new Chorus (Expanded Hope) For greater are the things eternal Than the breath we borrow here This life is mist, a passing shadow But the Kingdom’s drawing near Store your treasure where moth won’t eat Where rust and thieves can never reach He’s preparing rooms above Built by grace, sealed in love Bridge (Light Unto the World) We were called to be the light Set on hills, seen in the night Not by words alone we say But how we walk the narrow way We forget, but this is true We’re the only Christ some people view Let our works reflect His name So God gets glory — not our fame Verse 3 (Faith & Endurance) If the road is steep and thin If the cost cuts deep within Count it joy, endure the pain Every tear is not in vain Momentary trials remain But eternal is the gain Fix your eyes on what’s unseen Faith defines what hope will mean Final Chorus (Full, Victorious) Greater is the life awaiting Than the life we leave behind Present suffering can’t be compared To the glory we will find Stand firm now, don’t look back Take your cross, stay on the path This world is fading, heaven stays Greater is the promised day Outro (spoken, soft but sure) This world is not our home. We live different… Because we’re going somewhere better.
