Great Rejoicing (song of the day)

Do certain songs ever resonate with you deep in your soul and touch you in a way that can only be ascribed to God? Here is one of those songs for me. In a life filled with continuous ups and downs, it is good to remember and know that in Jesus we have a hope, a future hope that will bring 'great rejoicing' and a 'grand reunion'.

Great Rejoicing
Words and Music by Thad Cockrell
 
There’s gonna be a great rejoicing
There’s gonna be a great rejoicing
The troubles of this world
Will wither up and die
That river of tears made by the lonely
Someday will be dry
There’s gonna be a great rejoicing
There’s gonna be a great joy river
There’s gonna be a great joy river
Questions of this world
Someday will be known
Who’s robbing you a peace
And who’s the giver
There’s gonna be a great joy river
Someday you will find me guarded in His fortress
Open heart and wings that never touch the ground
Someday we will gather in a grand reunion
The debts of this old world are nowhere to be found
Are nowhere to be found
There’s gonna be a great rejoicing

  1. I agree with what you said about it resonating with you. The reality of it all sometimes seems unreal but like Rom 8:24 says, 'Now hope that is seem is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees.' One day faith and sight will be one!!

  3. I really like this song D. In a year that has had plenty of "ups and downs" for Mom and I it is an excellent reminder that there is more to come beyond this life as we know it. "Though the body waste away, inwardley we are renewed everday." Now that's a hope I can by into for not only tomorrow but forever.
