A Time of JOY!!

No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground. He comes

to make his blessings flow far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and

grace, and makes the nations prove

the glories of his righteousness, and wonders of his love.

Then i saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth has passed away, and the sea was no more. And i saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. And he who was sealed on the throne said, Behold, I am making all things new. (Rev. 21:1-5)
