Lyrics
This world is not our home
Through this desert land we roam
Longing to be clothed with heavenly robes
Our bodies waste away
But our hearts renewed each day
Christ's power is displayed in these jars of clay
We are afflicted
We are not crushed
We are perplexed
But we do not despair
Persecuted
But not abandoned
We are struck down
But we are not destroyed
These trials are not worthy
To compare with future glory
Living stones, we are quarried for eternity
We believe God's spoken word
That He who raised Christ our Lord
Will also us restore to life evermore
We are afflicted
We are not crushed
We are perplexed
But we do not despair
Persecuted
But not abandoned
We are struck down
But we are not destroyed
Our hope is in Christ the Lord
Our source of strength and our sure reward
He is with us
He won't forsake us
All we see will pass away
Giving way to brighter days
Victory shall be our song
For Christ our King has overcome
Forsaking all, we count the cost
Eternal gains, temporal loss
Swallowed up shall be our tears
By the joy of our endless years
All we see will pass away
Giving way to brighter days
Victory shall be our song
For Christ our King has overcome
Forsaking all, we count the cost
Eternal gains, temporal loss
Swallowed up shall be our tears
By the joy of our endless years
We are afflicted
We are not crushed
We are perplexed
But we do not despair
Persecuted
But not abandoned
We are struck down
But we are not destroyed
Our hope is in Christ the Lord
Our source of strength and our sure reward
He is with us
He won't forsake us
Our hope is in Christ the Lord
Our source of strength and our sure reward
He is with us
He won't forsake us
