Creation's Song

A verse from from Creation Sings the Father's Song, off of Keith & Kristyn Getty's new CD, Awaken the Dawn:

Creation longs for His return,
When Christ shall reign upon the earth;
The bitter wars that rage
Are birth pains of a coming age.
When He renews the land and sky,
All heav'n will sing and earth reply
With one resplendent theme: The glories of our God and King!

A beautiful, poetic expression of one of the great truths that informs the title of this blog, Redemption Groanings:

The entire creation is groaning in the pains of the childbirth, longing for the time when it will be set free from its bondage to decay and enter the glorious freedom of the children of God.

Maranatha, come Lord Jesus! And until You do, grant Your people to be strengthened with hope in singing songs like this.
