Thoughts from the Country: A Day is Coming

Copyright 2012: singeronthesand

For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven

with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,

and with the trump of God...

1 Thessalonians 4:16 

When I first heard the song There Will Come a Day performed by Faith Hill, I was surprised that lyrics about the second coming of Jesus Christ were played so prominently on country radio stations.  I really shouldn't have been all that shocked - country musicians have never been shy of singing about their foibles or their faith.  This great song speaks directly to the hope we have of seeing our Savior face to face.

 

It's not easy trying to understand
How the world can be so cold,

Stealing the souls of man.
Cloudy skies rain down on all your dreams.

You wrestle with the fear and doubt -
Sometimes it's hard but you gotta believe

There's a better place,

Where our Father waits
And every tear He'll wipe away.
The darkness will be gone,

The weak shall be strong.
Hold on to your faith -
There will come a day.

Wars are raging, lives are scattered
Innocence is lost, hopes are shattered.
The old are forgotten, 
Children are forsaken
In this world we're living in
Is there anything sacred?
There will come a day.

The song will ring out, 
Down those golden streets -
The voices of earth with the angels will sing.
Every knee will bow, sin will have no trace
In the glory of His amazing grace.
There will come a day.
