There Is A Day ...

I sang this TOTALLY UPLIFTING song at Church today ...


There Is A Day, by Phatfish

Here are the lyrics:

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'lll 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 acheiving
Our future glory.

There were certain parts of that absolutely beautiful song which really spoke to me this week, namely:

Then all hurt and pain will cease
And we'lll be with Him forever
And in His glory we will live


and

Though trouble's hard,
It's only momentary
And it's acheiving
Our future glory.

What a fantastic message.

I can't wait for the day when all the people in the world who are hurting or suffering, their pain will cease, and we will all go to live with Him. How perfect that will be! And what a hope to get us through our dark days!

And in the vastness of eternity, our entire lives on earth are only momentary, so when you look at it like that, our troubles may be hard, but yes, they are momentary compared to Heaven's glory.

I hope you are having a blessed Sunday.

God bless. xx

Thanks for posting this - I was lucky enough to see phatfish at Spring Harvest this year. They are amazing to see live and Lou writes such great lyrics and has a great voice. Was slightly concered for her as she was very pregnant when I saw them and was leaping all over the place!
