Lyrics

The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:

1.  We have this treasure from the Lord our God,
 .... We’re holding out to all the world.

2.  Now with His power in us we’ll reign in life,
,,, To show the greatness of His love.

Chorus:
We will sing out, we will proclaim
The wonder and joy of His endless grace;
Drawing us on till Jesus comes again
To take His people home.

3. No longer living for this passing life,
 .... But keep on trusting in His name.

KEEP IN CASE ORIGINAL IS REMOVED, BUT DO NOT DISPLAY 1.  We have this treasure from the Lord our God,
A gift of mercy from His hand;
His all-surpassing power at work in us,
To show His glory and His plan.
For He has offered hope to all mankind
Through sending Jesus to the cross;
And now this light He’s shone into our hearts
We’re holding out to all the world.

2.  Now with His power in us we’ll reign in life,
With eyes of faith we’ll move ahead;
The Spirit helps and strengthens us each day,
Confirming our eternal place.
Our confidence is not our ability,
Nor in the earthly strength that we hold,
But in His grace He takes the fragile things,
To show the greatness of His love.

Chorus:
We will sing out, we will proclaim
The wonder and joy of His endless grace;
Drawing us on till Jesus comes again
To take His people home.

3. No longer living for this passing life,
We’ll fix our eyes on what is sure:
There is a heavenly place prepared for us
That will not ever fade or spoil.
So we will walk the path He has given us,
In full obedience and with faith,
For when the road is tough we will not lose heart,
But keep on trusting in His name.
