Before I knew your name, you felt so far,
Just “God” and “Lord” up in a distant star.
But then I learned the name you chose to share,
Jehovah, close enough to breathe my prayer.
Your name means you can cause things to become,
You shape the future, not just watch it run.
You are the One who makes your promise real,
The God whose word becomes the hope we feel.
(Chorus)
When the last days press and the old world breaks,
We’ll trust your word with every breath it takes,
Till your Kingdom shines through the smoke and the gloom,
Doing all you promised it one day would do.
You’ve set a Kingdom in your Son’s right hand,
A righteous rule that every heart will understand.
Through Armageddon, when the wars all cease,
Your King will crush the hate and bring your peace.
When storms are past and all the nations fall,
Your Kingdom stands, a blessing over all.
The earth made new, with tears and death undone,
Peace will remain for the day's of the sun.
(Chorus)
When the last days press and the old world breaks,
We’ll trust your word with every breath it takes,
Till your Kingdom shines through the smoke and the gloom,
Doing all you promised it one day would do.
Jehovah, now your name is who you are,
The One who shapes my life from near, not far.
You cause my educated heart to heal and sing,
And teach me to belong under your King.
(Bridge)
First we’ll walk through the great tribulation,
Then the storm of Armageddon’s devastation,
Then God’s Kingdom heals and makes all things new,
Fulfilling every promise he said he would do.
(Chorus)
When the last days press and the old world breaks,
We’ll trust your word with every breath it takes,
Till your Kingdom shines through the smoke and the gloom,
Doing all you promised it one day would do.
