We need a new earth

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

There's wars and violence, malice, lies,
and international tensions rise,
misused resources (blame those guys?)
but no-one’s faultless, fully wise.

However much our world puts right
pollution, wars, can’t clear all blight –
the earth is aging, cannot last,
and all our days are flying fast.

God came as Jesus to our earth:
no doubt about it, or his worth.
He said he’d come to free from hate,
fit for a new earth – trust and wait!.

Tune: LM eg Niagara one of the tunes for ‘The Lord is King! lift up your voice’’
