"There is a Higher Throne"

This post is for Audrey (who loves the song n requested for the lyrics) and for Ed (whom i think will appreciate the lyrics)! :)

We sing this song quite often in ARPC...and I've really grown to love it. It was so apt when we had our series on Revelation, the language and imagery painted here is just so powerful (all inspired by Rev!). And when the whole congregation sings it together, it's really...WOW...can move u to tears! (esp. the beautiful chorus!!)

Such a heart-warming affirmation of the hope we're clinging on to...our God who will come to save the day! We just need to hang on to His promises.


THERE IS A HIGHER THRONE
===========================
There is a higher throne
Than all the world has known
Where sons of God from every tongue
Will one day come
Before the Son we'll stand
Made faultless through the Lamb
Believing hearts find promised grace
Salvation comes

Chorus:
Hear Heaven's voices sing
Their thunderous anthem rings
Through emerald courts and sapphire skies
Their praises rise
All glory wisdom power
Strength thanks and honour are
To God our King who reigns on high
Forever more

And there we'll find our home
Our life before the throne
We'll honour Him in perfect song
Where we belong
He'll wipe each tear-stained eye
As thirst and hunger die
The Lamb becomes our Shepherd King
We'll reign with Him
