Looking at the future
Who can tell you what is going on
It seems that we've become a generation
Of wars and bombs

And the heart grows weak
And the fear grows strong
That the day may come
And it may not be very long

And you want to run
But you don't know where
So where do you go?
Oh, I know
And I tell you

I am sure there will be a day
But it will not be like the nation say
The lord will come when this life is through
And his deep desire is to be with you
And it's my prayer
I want you to be there

I like to think about the new creation
Things that God will do
So ever now and then
I close my eyes
And enjoy the view
You might also like
And the heart grows strong
And the fear grows weak
And I cannot wait
For the new world to come to me

And while I dream
I'll pray for you
'Cause he wants you to go
This I know

I am sure there will be a day
But it will not be like the nation say
The lord will come when this life is through
And his deep desire is to be with you
And it's my prayer
I want you to be there

I am sure
'Cause there will be a day
But it will not be like the nation say
The lord will come when this life is through
And his deep desire is to be with you

Hearts will fly when the new world starts
And joy will rise like the morning star
And God will meet every cry of the heart
And it's my prayer
I want you to be there
I am sure there will be a day
(I am sure)
But it will not be like the nation say
Oh, the lord will come
When this life is through
And his deep desire is to be with you

Oh, and I am sure there will be a day
(I tell you, I am sure)
But it will not be like the nation say
The lord will come
When this life is through

(Yes, I)
And his deep desire is to be with you
(I am sure)
And it's my prayer, I want you to be there

(I am sure)
There'll be nowhere to run
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
And I am sure
