    THAT DAY (c) Copyright 2002

    We stand, watching, waiting
    Praying for that day
    The day our Saviour comes again
    And takes us all away



    Where never again a tear will fall
    His own will hear the Master's call
    That day



    All our cares will be left behind
    Eternal joy and peace we'll find
    Beautiful harmony of all mankind
    On that day



    Troubles of life are remembered no more
    When we reach that distant shore
    And enter in at heaven's door
    One day



    Come along and go with me
    To the place the Spirit leads
    Like eagles soar, we'll freely be
    That day.

    I'm so excited about that day. I know that we will spend eternity praising his name so when I imagine that, I am overwhelmed by what heaven will sound like. Hundreds of dialects singing "Holy". Great descriptive piece.

    This is exactly what I was talking about when I commented on “Nature’s Romance”… a carefully sculpted vision. When you have respect for the image you’re aiming to articulate, it shows, and it’s appreciated. I’ve got another favorite channel on OP.COM TV.

    Very well written. I love the content, it is very tender, very sweet. I strive for the opportunity to be a part of "that day", to feel free and not remember troubles of this life :)) Thank you for sharing!

    thank you for reading... "that day" is a day for all of us who give our lives to Jesus... it's a day He's promised, a day I anticipate... trust God and you will be a part, jade...

    Thanks, Chris, glad you liked it!

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
