Watching and waiting our whole life through For the moment when we arrive in glory We'll be standing before His emerald throne Oh what a day it will be All tears are gone and suffering's ceased Perfect new life with no earthly strife For we've finished the race, run to His embrace Oh what a day that will be When we've arrived, stunned and surprised All things resolved in the blink of an eye No more distractions, no sin left to fight First glimpse of Jesus and faith becomes sight Feel the ground shake, hear thunder roll See blinding light and seraphim flight All amazed we will fall, yet the Father will call Stand I have made you My own A choir with angels, martyrs, and saints Singing His praise, with no end to the day Shouting holy holy holy to Almighty God Oh what a song that will be When we've arrived arrived, stunned and surprised All things resolved in the blink of an eye No more distractions, no sin left to fight First glimpse of Jesus and faith When we've arrived arrived, stunned and surprised All things resolved in the blink of an eye No more distractions, no sin left to fight First glimpse of Jesus First glimpse of Jesus First glimpse of Jesus and faith becomes sight
