Listen to it here.
People always tell me,
This world is all there is.
You’re a fool to think there’s more.
But God above has told us,
Heaven and earth fade away,
His word remains the same.
So straighten up and lift up your head up high
Your redemption is drawing near.
When you see the Son of Man coming down.
Your redemption is drawing near.
Your redemption is drawing near.
I do believe that I am
More than chemistry.
Worlds don’t just come to be.
The fingerprints of God
Are there to be seen
In the stars, the earth, the sea.
So straighten up and lift your head up high,
Your redemption is drawing near.
When you see the Son of Man coming down,
Your redemption is drawing near.
Your redemption is drawing near.
God has made our eyes so that sunsets are seen,
And food tastes good to our tongues.
These wonders are a gift from a hand above
And we can give Him praise.
So straighten up and lift your head up high,
Your redemption is drawing near.
When you see the Son of Man coming down,
Your redemption is drawing near.
Your redemption is drawing near.
The mountains are full of wonder,
The seas proclaim Your word.
The stars will sing Your glory,
The trees will clap their hands.
So straighten up and lift your head up high,
Your redemption is drawing near.
When you see the Son of Man coming down,
Your redemption is drawing near.
Your redemption is drawing near.
