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 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...
