Based on Matthew 28:20
Matthew 28:20 has Jesus saying to his followers, "Remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age." This song explores what the scripture and creeds say about the risen/ascended Christ and expresses the response of his faithful church.
He said, he will always be with us,
Even when ages have no end,
In spite of all this world may send.
He said, he will always be with us,
And so we join as one to worship now.
Jesus is risen to the Father
Seated at the right hand of God.
From thence he'll come to judge the nations
And take his faithful people home.
His spirit is with us now.
His spirit is with us now.
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul praise him for he is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near;
Join me in glad adoration!
He said, he will always be with us.
(His word we believe)
He said, he will always be with us.
(We follow his lead)
And thus we perceive he's with us!
