19 The King of the Kingdom Is Victorious
Verse 1
Lightning shines from the East as God starts to speak,
the whole empyrean is now lit
and all the stars start to transform.
All men are as if they’re sorted out.
Under the glow of the lightning from the East,
man’s revealed in their true colors.
Eyes dazzled, stymied in confusion,
they can’t hide their ugly features.
Chorus
God has made a new beginning
in the great red dragon’s home,
and also started new work
in the universe He owns.
Soon earth’s kingdoms won’t exist,
they will become God’s kingdom,
’cause God has got victory
and has returned in triumph.
Verse 2
All men are astounded and waiting and watching.
Now, with the advent of God’s light,
all rejoice the day they were born
and curse this day at the same time.
Conflicting emotions, hard to articulate.
Tears of self-rebuke form rivers.
They’re gone without trace in a flash,
they’re swept past by the sweeping torrent.
Chorus
God has made a new beginning
in the great red dragon’s home,
and also started new work
in the universe He owns.
Soon earth’s kingdoms won’t exist,
they will become God’s kingdom,
’cause God has got victory
and has returned in triumph.
Bridge
Once again, God’s day is now fast approaching,
again rousing the human race,
giving mankind a point from which
they make a new beginning again.
God’s heart surges, and with the rhythm of His heart,
waves beat in time on rocky reefs,
mountains leap, waters dance with joy.
It’s hard to express what God feels.
Verse 3
God wants everything that’s evil and unclean
burnt to ashes under His gaze,
that the sons of rebellion disappear,
and that they don’t appear again.
Chorus
God has made a new beginning
in the great red dragon’s home,
and also started new work
in the universe He owns.
Soon earth’s kingdoms won’t exist,
they will become God’s kingdom,
’cause God has got victory
and has returned in triumph,
God has got victory
and has returned in triumph.
