Based on Revelation 21, Ken Canedo's anthemic song "See, I Make All Things New" transforms the Biblical author's visions of a new heaven and new earth into lyrics full of hope and welcome. Especially useful throughout the Easter season and for the Order of Christian Funerals.
Come, let us go to a bright and holy city,
a place where we can dream, where we are free.
Come, let us go from this world of trial and sorrow.
Oh, lead us to a home of lasting peace.
And God said, “I am with you.
Truly I am with you.
See, I make all things new.
I am with you. Truly I am with you.
See, I make all things new.”
Come, let us go to a place with no more dying,
no mourning and no pain and no more fear.
Come, let us go to a land with no more crying,
where God will gently wipe away our tears.
Come, let us go to a land where all the people
can freely share the wisdom of their God.
Come, let us go to an Earth where all the nations
can walk together in the light of love.
