One day...!

For a change, here's one of the most positive and encouraging songs I know. I really recommend the YouTube video that goes with it, especially for days when the horizon looks dark and endless. "There is a day" on YouTube. It's by the curiously named band, Phatfish, with their vocalist, Lou Fellingham, who has the most intense voice. It's not the most elegant of poetry, but the meaning is most definitely worth taking on board! I hope you like it.

There is a day

That all creation's waiting for,

A day of freedom and liberation for the earth.

And on that day

The Lord will come to meet His bride,

And when we see Him

In an instant we'll be changed.

The trumpet sounds

And the dead will then be raised

By His power,

Never to perish again.

Once only flesh,

Now clothed with immortality,

Death has now been

Swallowed up in victory.

We will meet Him in the air

And then we will be like Him,

For we will see Him, as He is.

Oh yeah!

Then all hurt and pain will cease,

And we'll be with Him forever

And in His glory we will live.

Oh yeah! Oh yeah!

So lift your eyes

To the things as yet unseen,

That will remain now

For all eternity.

Though trouble's hard,

It's only momentary,

And it's achieving

Our future glory.
