Unfading Beauty

Invade us, Lord, come deep within
And crucify our sinful will;
With sword, Your Cross, come slay our sin,
Then in us with Your Spirit fill.

When will is slain our fear is gone,
And we become a creature new,
For we know now we’re not alone
As we are with Yourself imbued.

Now we can look at world You made
And see what we’ve not seen before:
The beauty deep that never fades
With life comes down through heaven’s door.

But one thing we will never see
In new creation from Your hand:
It’s pride that here can never be
When world is made as Your new land.
