Lyrics:
1. With one voice the angels sing songs that make creation ring. Prophets hear and call us to live in spirit and in truth.
Refrain: Word of God, enthroned, dwell in us forevermore. Love has come to show the way. Hallelujah, peace be with us. Love had come to show the way.
2. Father, Yahweh, Elohim, voice of thunder, spirit, wind: breathe on me your very live; grace will make the darkness bright.
Bridge: Keeper of the sacrifice manifest in Jesus Christ, born to die and wake the dead, as we hunger keep us fed.
3. God of Covenant, divine, lead us to the end of time, beyond sorrow, beyond fear, beyond pride and earthen tears.
4. Now salvation has come in the New Jerusalem. Dancers dance and singers roar, proclaiming Jesus Christ is Lord.
