I saw a new Heaven and earth,
The first ones ceased to exist;
All of the beauty and their worth,
In harmony to coexist.
I could see the holy city,
Jerusalem the new Zion;
No more existed the sea,
But heard the roar of a lion.
It descended out of Heaven,
That God made ready like a bride;
To her Husband will be given,
For honoring and to abide.
I could hear a very loud voice,
Speaking out from up on the throne;
As angels started to rejoice,
Overjoyed as if they did condone.
For God is among the humans,
His tabernacle is with the men;
Pure light emitting bright lumens,
Shrouded them like a mother hen.
He will be living among them,
And be staying with His people;
They are pardoned will not condemn,
For His refuge is His temple.
God will wipe the tears from their eyes,
As death will no longer exist;
His wisdom will then make them wise,
Ending the pain that did persist.
God is making all the things new,
The new beginning and the end;
These words are trustworthy and true,
For He is your God and your friend.
He will give water if you thirst,
Drawn free from the well spring of life;
The last shall be considered first,
No longer in the midst of strife.
But to the cowards and wicked,
The sinful who are immoral;
They are sure to be inflicted,
In the fiery infernal.
