I've listened to this song off and on for several months...mostly because I don't usually listen to my radio much. (Hate commercials and love quiet time before I go to work.) But today, I was truly inspired to listen, really listen, from the viewpoint of my hurting friend, and the words made my heart swell with hope that one day there really will be less pain and struggle. There is a little bit of a devotional before the song, which may or may not uplift you, but I hope you hold out for the song! It's to the left of this page. Below I will copy the lyrics so you can truly feel inspired. My kids have listened to him off and on because his songs have a blend of rock and pop...
Sorry, it is a little difficult to see the video because my host doesn't have wide enough side bars. But the song still sounds wonderful. There are several other versions both on Youtube and Godtube (with a devotional), if you want to see them for yourself. This s a more upbeat version with some cool art work. How inspiring for some of you artists!
There Will Be A Day
I try to hold onto 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 onto 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 onto You always
I know the journey seems so long
You feel you're walking on your own
But there has never been a step
That 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
But I hold onto 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 onto You always
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
Oh, 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 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
