Chorus

The work of today has pushed past

the work of the Age of Grace.

The work of six thousand years,

the management plan continues.

Though the Age of Grace is over,

there has been progress in God’s work, in God’s work.

Verse 1

Why is it said again and again

today’s work builds on the previous ages?

It follows the work of the Age of Grace

and is higher than that of the Age of Law.

Like a chain closely tied to the next,

all three stages are connected.

Verse 2

If this stage didn’t build on the work of Jesus,

another crucifixion would take place.

The redemption of the Age of Grace

would have to be done all over again.

So it’s not that the work is finished,

but the level has been raised higher.

Chorus

The work of today has pushed past

the work of the Age of Grace.

The work of six thousand years,

the management plan continues.

Though the Age of Grace is over,

there has been progress in God’s work, in God’s work.

Bridge

This stage of work is built on Jesus’ work

and the foundation of the Age of Law.

The work of God is built stage by stage,

this stage is not a new beginning.

Only the three together may be deemed

the six-thousand-year management plan.

Chorus

The work of today has pushed past

the work of the Age of Grace.

The work of six thousand years,

the management plan continues.

Though the Age of Grace is over,

there has been progress in God’s work.
