With the whole creation we join the song:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and praise!”
He has made us a kingdom of priests to serve our God, and we will reign on earth.
God will be all in all, righteousness and peace will flourish, everything will be made new, and every eye will see at last that our world belongs to God.
Hallelujah! Come, Lord Jesus!
