Jeremiah 31:31
Theme: The New Covenant in Christ Jesus
An updated version of a hymn I wrote in September 1990, “Behold the Days Are Coming,” that includes a new tune and added chorus.

lyrics

VERSE

1. "Behold the days are coming,"
Declares the Lord our God,
When I shall make with Israel
And Judah a new bond;
Not as the promise which I made
And which their fathers broke."
The law in stone was shown to be
A harsh and threat'ning yoke.

VERSE

2. "My law shall be in every heart
To teach them to obey;
And it shall be their great delight
To serve Me in that day.
I shall prepare a sacrifice
By shedding precious blood
To bring My people near to Me,
So shall I be their God."

CHORUS

Look to the cross,
The promise now fulfilled.
Our debt was paid;
The covenant is sealed.
Such love displayed
For all the world to see;
Our King has come
To rescue and redeem.

VERSE

3. "No more shall men their neighbors teach
For all within this bond
By faith in Jesus Christ shall know
That I the Lord am God.
I shall forgive their lawless deeds,
Remember sins no more."
For in that day grace will abound
Through Jesus Christ the Lord.

CHORUS

Look to the cross,
The promise now fulfilled.
Our debt was paid;
The covenant is sealed.
Such love displayed
For all the world to see;
Our King has come
To rescue and redeem.

VERSE

4. Behold the new Jerusalem,
The Israel of God,
Who were condemned to wrath and hell
Now purchased by His blood,
Who once were not a people,
But now have been brought near,
As the true seed of Abraham,
A bride beloved and dear!

CHORUS

Look to the cross,
The promise now fulfilled.
Our debt was paid;
The covenant is sealed.
Such love displayed
For all the world to see;
Our King has come
To rescue and redeem.
