Opening Song: New Jerusalem by Eddie Hoagland, Jacob Sooter, Jon Guerra; sung here by Shane & ShaneLyrics:Somewhere we know but haven’t beenLike a song forgottenA place prepared beyond the endOur home in new JerusalemA palace made of promisesA garden and a fortressA world that’s built on what you saidOur home in new JerusalemOur home in new JerusalemStanding there in purest lightWith no more pain and no more nightHe holds the tears her eyes have criedThe bride of new JerusalemWho filled with love would give his lifeTo save his one and only brideWho’s name is true and lifted highThe king of new JerusalemThe king of new JerusalemHis will is done his kingdom comeEternity has just begunThe multitude will sing as oneThe song of new JerusalemA music free from bars or timeA symphony of His designThe Lamb of God enthroned on highThe hope of new JerusalemThe hope of new JerusalemA music free from bars or timeA symphony of His designThe Lamb of God enthroned on highThe hope of new JerusalemThe hope of new JerusalemSomewhere we know but haven’t beenLike a song forgottenA place prepared beyond the endOur home in new JerusalemOur home in new JerusalemPassage: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”22 And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.5 And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.(Rev Musical Reflection: Harp meditation No. 1 by Gretchen KirbyReflection Notes: A repetitive pattern in the left hand provides a meditative foundation while the right hand experiments with ascending lines. The tune is meant to be joyful and evoke delight. Prayer:O God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as surpass our understanding: Pour into our hearts such love towards you, that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
