lyrics

We shall sing with hearts on fire. We shall rise and not be ashamed.
We shall look and all be radiant. We shall see him face to face.

Though we wait, the garden groaning,
Cut down by greed, used up, bereft.
What death has taken, or curse has ruined,
Jesus has turned, upon its head.

We shall sing with hearts on fire. Yes, we shall rise and not be ashamed.
We shall look and all be radiant. For we shall see him face to face.
The whole world of despair is not worth being compared
To what we shall see.

Though we outwardly seem, to be wasting away,
Instead inwardly we, are more new day by day.
Though we don’t see Him now, yet our hearts still believe.
And our hope cannot die, til our joy is complete.

And so we wait, the children hunger,
The weak enslaved, the voiceless poor.
Though weeping lasts, throughout this long night,
Jesus shall come, like joyous morn.

We shall sing with hearts on fire. Yes, we shall rise and not be ashamed.
We shall look and all be radiant. For we shall see him face to face.
The whole world of despair is not worth being compared,
As we tremble with love when we meet in the air,
The whole world of despair is not worth being compared,
To what we shall see,
What we shall see.
