That Great Day
Eternal Transformation: Embracing Redemption in 'That Great Day'
Lyrics
We'll meet at the river
We will gather at the river.
We'll be delivered of every chain
We will be freed from every burden or restraint.
Down into the water, children
We will immerse into the water, symbolizing a spiritual act.
Mothers and fathers in His sweet name
Both children and parents will participate in this act in the name of God.
To drown all our sins
We will submerge ourselves to cleanse away our sins.
And come up again forever changed
After this act, we will resurface, forever transformed.
Never to return to the people we were
We won't go back to who we were before this transformative experience.
Before that great day
Anticipation of an event referred to as "that great day."
We'll patiently wait 'til we see His face
We will patiently await the moment we see the face of God.
And when He appears to wipe all our tears forever away
When God appears, He will wipe away all our sorrows permanently.
Then we'll be together in Heaven forever
We will be united in Heaven for eternity.
On that great day, on that great day
Reiteration of the anticipation and joy on "that great day."
We'll patiently wait 'til we see His face
Reiteration of patiently waiting to see the face of God.
And when He appears to wipe all our tears forever away
Reiteration of God wiping away all tears when He appears.
Then we'll be together in Heaven forever
Reiteration of the eternal unity in Heaven.
On that great day, on that great day
Repetition of the anticipation and joy on "that great day."
On that great day, on that great day
Final repetition, emphasizing the significance of "that great day."
