God is working his purpose out as year gives way to year God is working his purpose out and the time is drawing near Nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that will surely be When the earth will be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea From farthest east to farthest west, every nation north to south When finally there is no place left to preach the word of God Then Christ will come and bring to us his endless reign of peace And the earth will be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea When his word, floods the earth He will come, King David's Son When his word, floods the earth He will come, King David's Son Spend your life to work His work, to speed the King's decree To usher in the nations praise, the reign of the Prince of Peace Pour out your life to hasten the time, the time that will surely be When the earth will be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea O let the earth be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea
