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.
