A Better Country

Lyrics

Hebrews eleven, thirteen through sixteen

These all died
in faith,
not having received
the promises,
but having seen
them afar off,
and were persuaded
of them,
and embraced them,
and confessed
that they were
strangers and pilgrims
on the earth.

For they
that say
such things
declare plainly
that they seek
a country.

And truly,
if they had
been mindful
of that country
from whence
they came out,
they might have
had opportunity
to have returned.

But now
they desire
a better country,
that is,
an heavenly:
wherefore God
is not ashamed
to be called
their God:
for he
hath prepared
for them
a city.
