Looking forward to day I'll be with Jesus. And praying that the rest of the world does too.
Story behind the song
I had wanted to write something like this for a while, something about finally being with Jesus for the rest of eternity, and how awesome that would be. But it's also a prayer for this world, that they, too, would share in my anticipation.
Lyrics
Lifting my eyes up to the sky
And I'm never gonna turn them away
You are more that I could
Ever dare to dream
This world is a temporary home
Though it presses down on all of me
But Your grace is more than
I could ever need
Let me look to what I cannot see
In that day I will be with You forever
In that day You will say that I am Yours
Lord I pray that the world may wonder
Why we look to heaven
Let them see and glorify Your name
In that day
Let them see and glorify Your name
Let them sing with joy a song of praise
Lord we long to see You face to face
In that day
