David J. Ferguson - Tides of Heaven Suite

Lift up your voice before Him
Dance before the King
Let the whole world hear you
Let your praises ring

For the Lord our God shows mercy
And each broken heart He mends
He brings into His kingdom
And His kingdom never ends

Princes bow the knee before Him
The darkness flees away
The Most High gives the word
And the Earth jumps to obey

And very soon we'll see Him
For His promises are true
And He's given us His word
"Behold, I make all things new!"

I've got my place on the uphill train,
I got my ticket free
But I gaze out, admire the view
Ignore their silent plea

Think of all those people
For He loves them too
Think of all those people
Who'll never see, who'll never see
Who'll never see what we do
Paradise hidden

My vantage as I move on up
Shows me what they don't know:
The Nothing that they press towards -
There is nowhere to go

Think of all those people
For He loves them too
Think of all those people
Don't want to see, don't want to see
Don't want to see what we do
Paradise hidden

There's a high road above you
That you've never even seen
I've told you where it's going
But you don't know what I mean
You tell me that Heaven's a silly child's tale

You keep your gaze down, searching
You think you're gonna find what's real
But the gold is all in Paradise
You can't see you're bound to fail
You tell me that Heaven's a silly child's tale

You've called me names, but I'm not ashamed
Because He's beaten you, you know I'm speaking true
You keep up day after day
You hope I'll fall away
But God won't leave my side
And you have nowhere to hide

The tide has turned, by His gaze you'll be burned
And while it looks today as though you have your way
The Shining One coming soon
Will make you look like a pale moon
How could you not have known
You can't make it on your own?

I want the people who will listen to me sing to know
Your mighty Kingdom is at hand
Everything they thought was firm will blow away
Only those who trust in You will stand

Truthbringer, Chainbreaker
Eternity's rushing in like a flood

You've filled me with your spirit and You've set me free
Now things won't ever be the same
A promise is a promise and The Promise is for me
And everyone who calls on Your name

Truthbringer, Joygiver
Your rule is here, rushing in like a flood
