Lyrics for "Even In The Ruins"

We wait for restoration

When you make all things new

A new earth and heaven

And we will be one with You

In love and redemption

Let the heavens be glad

In Your glorious perfection

Together we stand

Chorus:

Even in the ruins

Hope is emerging

Even in the ruins

Forgiveness occurring

So much decay, corruption

sin and destruction

But Your glory remains

Even in the ruins

Even in the ruins

You are here

And all nature groans together

As we wait for the dawn

When You gather Your children

And every tear is gone away

In love and redemption

Let the heavens be glad

In Your glorious perfection

Together we stand

Bridge:

Let the sea roar

Let the fields rejoice

Let the trees sing out

As we answer Your voice
