The title of my blog comes from (the Bible and) one of my favorite songs, "Hallelujah" by the Newsboys. Be blessed by these lyrics:
I'm looking up
Holding out
Pressing forward
Without a doubt
Longing for the things unseen
Longing for the things I believe
My true country
We hope and wait
For the glorious day
All tears will vanish
Wiped away
On the saints this day already shines
On the saints this day already shines
It already shines
And we'll be singing hallelujah
We'll be singing hallelujah
At the top of our lungs, halle-le-lujah
To Your glory, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
We'll be singing hallelujah
We'll be singing hallelujah
With all of our breath, halle-le-lujah
To Your glory, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
And I know that it's coming
But I can't see it now
And I've touched it in moments
But I can't hold it yet
And it glows in the darkness
And it calls us away
To our true destination
To that glorious day
We're singing hallelujah
We'll be singing hallelujah
At the top of our lungs, halle-le-lujah
To Your glory, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
We'll be singing hallelujah
We'll be singing hallelujah
With all of our breath, halle-le-lujah
To Your glory, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hmmmm...good words for me today. Some days glory seems further away than others. I love the line that says "on the saints this day already shines" cuz although we have to wait for the fullness, we can taste it now. That makes this old world with its tears and confusion and brokenness possible to embrace fully, not just endure until its over.
