This morning I woke up to my online newsfeed to hear of three deaths this week that effect three families from my church. Not knowing the deceased or those who experience loss very well, it still has a way of making one consider the brevity of life, and yet have hope that Heaven and our loved ones await us.
As I drove over to a violin student's home later this morning, I turned on the local radio station and the following song was playing. It sounded like an old gospel song sung from the 50s or 60s, but it was the words that stuck out to me:
The timeless theme, Earth and Heaven will pass away.
It’s not a dream, God will make all things new that day.
Gone is the curse from which I stumbled and fell.
Evil is banished to eternal hell.
No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again.
And praises to the great "I AM."
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.
See all around, now the nations bow down to sing.
The only sound is the praises to Christ, our King.
Slowly the names from the book are read.
I know the King, so there’s no need to dread.
No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again.
And praises to the great "I AM."
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.
See over there, there’s a mansion, oh, that’s prepared just for me,
Where I will live with my savior eternally.
No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again.
And praises to the great "I AM."
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.
All praises to the great "I AM."
We’re gonna live in the light of the risen Lamb.
