There Will Be A Day

I heard on the radio Jeremy Camp's new release There Will Be A Day, on Monday the day before I did a funeral for a 2 month old that died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

When you look at an infant that is so beautiful and don't have any answers as to why, all one can do is point to the hope of a greater day and a glorious reunion for those who are in Christ. There is no hope of bringing that beautiful child back but there is the hope of being able to go to that child. After David lost his child in death he said, "Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me." 2 Samuel 12:23.

We long for the day when everything that is wrong in this world will pass away and there will be a new heaven and a new earth. There Will Be A Day powerfully captures that longing and the hope for that day. Just click the "play button" on the picture below to the left of the itunes logo.

Lyrics:
I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew

But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always

I know the journey seems so long
You feel your walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you’ve walked out all alone

Troubled soul don’t lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that’s in store
Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting

I can’t wait until that day where the very one I’ve lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I’ve faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery this is why this is why I sing….

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face

There will be a day, He’ll wipe away the stains, He’ll wipe away the tears, He’ll wipe away the tears…..there will be a day
