We Need No Harps (feat. Melissa T & Eric McAllister)

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
