The call came in, momma’s sick again
She’s in a lot of pain, don’t know where Dad went.
I tried to comfort them but words were few
The end was coming we knew it was true.
I stopped for a moment to find the words
Here’s what Jesus said:
It won’t be like this for long
The pain and suffering soon will be gone.
Yesterday a memory, tomorrow a dream
Beauty forever for the redeemed.
News flash, warning, another tragedy
This can’t go on, this insanity.
All this grimness brings me down
All this darkness has us bound.
I cried out Lord what do I do
Here’s what He said:
It won’t be like this for long
The pain and suffering soon will be gone.
Yesterday a memory, tomorrow a dream
Beauty forever for the redeemed.
He’s on His way to claim the few
Then all things will be new.
Life as we know it will be changed
Plans are made, all’s been arranged.
Look to the skies,
Here’s what He said:
It won’t be like this for long
The pain and suffering soon will be gone.
Yesterday a memory, tomorrow a dream
Beauty forever for the redeemed.
