Looking at the future,
who can tell you what's going on?
It seems that we've become
a generation of wars and bonds
And the heart grows weak,
and the fear grows strong
That the day may come,
and it may not be very long
You want to run,
but you don't know where
So where do you go?
Oh, I know
And I tell you, I am sure there will be a day
But it will not be like the nations say
The Lord will come when
this life is through
And His deep desire is to be with you
And it's my prayer,
I want you to be loved
I like to think about the new creation,
things that God will do.
So every now and then
I close my eyes
and enjoy the view.
And the heart grows strong,
and the fear grows weak
And I cannot wait
for the new world to come to me
And while I dream, I'll pray for you
Cause He wants you to go, this I know
I am sure there will be a day,
but it will not be like the nations say.
The Lord will come when
this life is through,
and His deep desire is to be with you.
And it's my prayer,
I want you to be there
There's hope, cause there will be a day
But it will not be like the nations say
The Lord will come when
this life is through
And His deep desire is to be with you
Hearts will fly when the new world starts
And joy will rise like the morning star
And God will heed every cry of the heart
And it's my prayer, I want you to be there
I am sure there will be a day
But it will not be like the nations say
The Lord will come when
this life is through
And His deep desire is to be with you
I am sure there will be a day
But it will not be like the nation said
God will come when this life is through
An d his chief desire is to be with
I am sure
An d I am sure you
