7 in 7, Day One: “One Day Soon”
A couple of weeks after my wife and I got married, her father passed away. More than I’ve ever experienced before, I realized how broken this world is. And things are not right. It is not how it is supposed to be. Isaiah 25 (“He will swallow up death forever”) and Revelation 21 (“Behold, I am making all things new”) were huge passages for Annie & I in that time. We have prayed so often, “Jesus, come quickly”. It may feel like a long time, but it will be soon, and we wait.
This will not go on forever
One day soon the clocks will turn back
And the sky will open up, and the earth will crumble down
And we see everything that we’ve lost
This will not be broken always
When we take hold of what has been paid
And everything restored and tears are wiped away
We will come into a new place
Hold on, it won’t take long
Til we see Him face to face
There is hope for what we broke
And forgiveness…
So hold on
One day soon will come our Savior
On the clouds with peals of thunder
And death is swallowed up and the souls of men laid bare
For that day and that place we wait
Hold on, it won’t take long
Til we see Him face to face
There is hope for what we broke
And forgiveness…
So hold on
This will not go on forever
