Soon and very soon
My King is coming
Robed in righteousness
And crowned with love
When I see Him, I shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
I'll be going to the place He has prepared for me
Then my sin erased, my shame forgotten
Soon and very soon

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
See the procession
The angels and the elders round the throne
At His feet I'll lay
My crowns, my worship
Soon and very soon

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Though I have not seen Him
My heart knows Him well
Jesus Christ the Lamb, the Lord of heaven

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see Him
There my soul with be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon

Our great God of comfort (2 Corinthians 1) graciously put this song on my heart this past week.  It helped me deal with my grandmother's transition from the world we know to heaven above - and also reminded me that we too will soon be with our Savior in heaven.  This life is so temporary - we are truely just passing through.
 
"LORD, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them?  They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow." Psalm 144:3-4
We must choose to cling tight to our Heavenly Father, for He is the only one who WAS and IS and IS TO COME.  He alone will be the same here and in heaven.  I praise Him for the day I am finally with Him: Soon and very soon.
