Some people seek a temple;
Their eyes on earth remain.
I fix my hopes on Jesus
It’s his promises that I claim.
There is but one temple.
It’s not made by human hand.
It’s stones are saved people
From every tribe and land.
If you’re looking for that temple
Where God himself does dwell,
Look no farther than the Church
Against it no evil shall prevail.
Are you concerned about the future?
God has foretold what he will do.
He will send our King from heaven
And perfect his children too.
We are the children of the living God.
In his temple Christ does reign.
We count this world as lost
That the resurrection we might gain.
“But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.”
I Corinthians 15:20-26 NKJV
