I’ve been listening to an old favorite song of mine a lot this week. Just another great song that shows why Terry Taylor is one of the greatest songwriters of the last 25 years. Imagine these lyrics put to a massive killer Brian Wilson/Beach Boys vocal arrangement that is simply brilliant. This song was on an obscure record in 1986 and then later on the second side of completely insane comedy CD, “Miracle Faith Telethon” by Dr. Edward Daniel Taylor (which is on my personal wish list on amazon) and can be yours for a cool 60$ or so.
“Soon”
And the river flows from the throne of God,
Passing by the tree of life
And in this place no candle burns
For the Lamb shall be our light
See the Holy city coming down from heaven
Here, there’ll be no tears, no night
We shall reign with Him in raiment shining bright
(Chorus)
And we say “Come Lord!” (Jesus quickly come)
And he says “My reward is with Me.”
And we say “Come Lord!” (Jesus quickly come)
And He says “I am the first and last”
The Bride crys “Even so, oh when will my Love return?”
We say “Come Lord!”
And He says “Soon!”
We will see His face, He will speak our name
And He’ll wipe our tears away
He shall be our God, we shall be his own
And His love will light our way
There will be no sorrow, there will be no mourning
Death is vanquished on that day
“So come quickly Lord,” the Bride and Spirit say, “Soon!”
