We Need No Harps ft. Sunday Morning Songs, Melissa T & Eric McAllister Lyrics

What melodies rise from our weeping

How can we sing when we're so far from home

What gives our grief purpose and meaning?

That Israel's God ransomed us as his own

Children of God, do not get weary

Until your earthly work is done

For here we have no lasting city

That which we seek is yet to come

Even through tears, we labor on

We're only passing through this Babylon

We need no harps to help us sing

Salvation's song in a strange land

Lift up your hearts to Zion's King

Soon we'll behold New Jerusalem

So be prepared, watchful and sober

Walk in this time as beloved exiles

Our troubles here soon will be over

Our Liberator will soon crack the sky

Often struck down, never destroyed

We journey on in the strength of his joy

We need no harps to help us sing

Salvation's song in a strange land

Lift up your hearts to Zion's King

Soon we'll behold New Jerusalem

Our redemption's at hand

Sing your way to the promised land

Our redemption's at hand

Soon we'll see New Jerusalem

Christ will avenge every injustice

When he returns all our suffering will end

We'll sing a new song to him who loved us

Glory and honor to God and the Lamb

Praise and dominion, forever, amen!

We need no harps to help us sing

Salvation's song in a strange land

Lift up your hearts to Zion's King

Soon we'll behold New Jerusalem

Our redemption's at hand

Sing your way to the promised land

Our redemption's at hand

Soon we'll see New Jerusalem

Saints of God, carry on

We're just passing through Babylon

Our redemption's at hand

Soon we'll see New Jerusalem

Our redemption's at hand

Sing your way to the promised land

Our redemption's at hand

Soon we'll see New Jerusalem

Saints of God, carry on

We're just passing through Babylon

Our redemption's at hand

Soon we'll see New Jerusalem
