Foretaste


There's a portent of the glory that lies ahead
A sampling of the grace yet to come
Assurance of the blessing that waits in the wings
We see in part till the numbers are summed.

On the day of accounting our longing will end
We reckon this fact as secure
We see through a glass darkly good things to come
Promises of blessings that endure

But we don't have to wait for that glorious day
When shadows become reality
Taste and see that the Lord is so good
Here and now, present tense, we can see...

I want a foretaste, a foretaste, a foretaste of your glory
I want a foretaste, a foretaste, a foretaste of your glory
A foretaste of the glory-Sure as the salvation has begun
He shall reign forever when the day is done.
He shall reign forever when the day is done.
He shall reign forever when the day is done.

On deliverance day we shall know as we're known
On what is seen, we won’t fix our eyes
What we see is temporary but the unseen shall last
And a glimpse of that beauty is here in disguise

Come soon the day when shadowlands fade
The inheritance they point to arrives
These are a shadow of the good things to come,
But the substance all belongs to Christ.

Somehow to perceive a glimpse of the future
A living hope that is guaranteed:
A lingering taste of full assurance faith brings-
That's what we hunger for, that's what we need!

I want a foretaste, a foretaste, a foretaste of your glory
I want a foretaste, a foretaste, a foretaste of your glory
A foretaste of the glory-Sure as the salvation has begun
He shall reign forever when the day is done.
He shall reign forever when the day is done.
He shall reign forever when the day is done.
