In That Day

The Reckoning

Soon the day will come, that day for which we long

The soon and coming return of our King

Bringing judgment against all that’s wrong

But to His own, great blessing He will bring


When that day  of reckoning comes upon us

We shall know that Sin no longer holds its sway

When He comes, He fulfills all our trust

And His name shall be hallowed in that day


In that day there’ll be no more sorrow

In that day there’ll be no more pain

Soon that day will come- maybe tomorrow

When we’ll see all of our losses become gain

Then faith and hope will surely pass away

But holy  love will surely remain

For faith becomes sight  in that day


In that day we’ll join the celebration

Angel songs give way to songs of the redeemed

Ransomed souls raise their voice in jubilation

And this new reality is more than we dreamed


In that day there’ll be no more sorrow

In that day there’ll be no more pain

Soon that day will come- maybe tomorrow

When we’ll see all of our losses become gain

Then faith and hope will surely pass away

But holy  love will surely remain

For faith becomes sight  in that day
