When the World is Shaken

Lyrics

When the world is shaken
and the mountains fall to the sea
we will lift our eyes up
to the only hope for our peace.

On the throne in heaven
is the one who suffered the cross;
now, in risen glory,
he is always pleading for us.

Jesus! You're the only hope,
Saviour of the world.
Jesus! Everlasting Lord,
sovereign over all.

For the day draws nearer
when the Lord will come in his power.
He will judge with justice;
let the nations turn to him now.

We'll bow before the Living One,
the Lamb upon the throne,
who was and is and is to come
and reigns forevermore.

Story

My first published co-write. Matt Weeks started us off with the riff, I sang a chorus. We were originally aiming for a personal song of hope in Christ, but as the song took its course through the editorial process for the Resound 'Downcast Souls / Expectant Hearts' album, it became clear that the scope was much broader. I'm so pleased with where we landed.
