Deep in God’s heart

Deep in God’s heart there’s been

Before the time began

God’s desire to be expressed

This He planned in eternal past.

God eternal had a purpose

In eternal past.

He created man in His image

that man would God express.

Genesis

the blueprint —

Revelation

the fulfillment —

From God’s plan and economy

To the city in eternity.

Man from the dust of the ground

At the end

New Jerusalem.

Here God’s wisdom and love abound.

Oh! This is most profound!

Deep in God’s heart He planned

To mingle Himself with man.

God

as a river and a tree

Man’s food and drink to be.

God our enjoyment

Issues the fulfillment:

A city as His expression

Built with gold

pearl and precious stones.
