HE IS NEAR
Lyrics
We have come to
Mount Zion -
the city of the living God;
not to a tangible mountain,
or to an ignited fire.
We have come to
heavenly Jerusalem;
not to darkness,
to murk,
to a whirlwind.
No, we have come
to myriads of angels
in festive assembly;
to a community of the firstborn
whose names
have been recorded
in heaven.
The Kingdom of God is near you
The Kingdom of God is near me
The Kingdom of God is near us
It is near, it is here, it is!
We have not come
to the sound of a shofar,
to the Voice whose words
made the hearers beg
that no further message
be given to them.
No, we have come to a Judge
who is God of everyone;
to spirits of righteous people
who have been brought
to the goal;
to the mediator
of a new covenant, Yeshua.
The Kingdom of God is near you
The Kingdom of God is near me
The Kingdom of God is near us
It is near, it is here, it is!
We have come to the One
who promised to -
one more time -
shake not only the earth,
but heaven too.
We have come to
the One whose Kingdom
is unshakeable;
So let us have grace,
through which we may offer
service that will please God,
with reverence and fear.
For indeed,
Our God is a consuming fire.
The Kingdom of God is near you
The Kingdom of God is near me
The Kingdom of God is near us
God is near, He is here, He is.
