One day things will be different! Our pastor asked the question recently to this end: after we have enjoyed the peace, happiness and joy of living in the presence of God in the glory of Heaven for a thousand years, what will we think then about all our troubles and trials endured in this world? I think they will pale into insignificance if we can recall them at all. One day it will be worth it all !
Things Will Be Different
One day things will be different…
Jesus will come back again
and gather His children together,
forever with Him to reign.
One day things will be different…
a new Heaven and earth He will make.
We will live in His glorious presence
where sin can no longer partake.
One day things will be different…
the lion will lay down with the lamb;
a child can tread on a scorpion.
Peace, not hate, is God’s plan.
One day things will be different…
never more are we to die.
Our bodies, made whole and complete,
will not even need to sigh.
One day things will be different…
our possessions no longer will hold.
The Saviour is preparing us mansions
to enjoy in a city of gold.
One day things will be different…
there will be no sorrow or tears;
no more suffering and sickness;
no more doubts and fears.
No more burdens and trials,
no more wrestling with sin,
no more pain and hurts,
no more evil things.
One day things will be different…
there will not be the tiniest sin.
Righteousness, the joy of living;
peace and love will always win.
One day things will be different…
all because Jesus died!
Conquering sin and Satan,
He now lives to redeem His bride.
One day things will be different
when God’s Day of Salvation arrives.
But those who ignore God’s love
will never receive His prize.
One day things will be different…
our minds can’t imagine the things
God has prepared for His children.
Of Jesus and hope let us sing!
One day things will be different…
persevere by looking to Jesus!
May this world not consume our thinking:
God’s love and His hope never ceases!
