I Thank You For Your Promises

(The Joy That's Waiting There)

By Peter Gringhuis, Elton Smith and Larry Holder

CCLI Number: 5764501

It surely makes God smile to hear His children laughing. Despite the pain in life, He created us for His pleasure. He promises that someday the pain will be gone and there will be nothing left but laughter.

Peter is joined by Margriet Brasz on the recording. - 27 May 2010

(Verse 1)
You bend Your ear and hear Your children laughing
You call to us like thunder far away
We raise our arms and cry for sweet communion
As deep within our hearts
We're waiting for The Day

(Chorus)
In Your presence we find a glimpse of paradise
The hope of endless days
Surrounded by Your love and light
Far beyond what eyes can see
There's a home prepared for me
I love to imagine the joy that's waiting there

(Verse 2)
Til Your return our future is a shadow
And yet the Day will come when all is clear
When time gives way to joy and peace eternal
And Your redeeming love replaces every fear

(Repeat Chorus)
In Your presence we find a glimpse of paradise
The hope of endless days
Surrounded by Your love and light
Far beyond what eyes can see
There's a home prepared for me
I love to imagine the joy that's waiting there

(Ending)
I thank You for Your promises
I thank You for Your promises
I thank You for Your promises
Oh God

I can't count how many times i play this song in a day. I came across this song at a time when I was facing challenges in my life but God spoke to me through the song. I just can't stop playing it. I want to thank God for using this song to heal so many broken hearts. To Peter Gringhuis, Elton Smith and Larry Holder. May God richly bless you.

Simply beautiful and uplifting! One thing we can rely on is the promises of God; when all hope seems lost we have His 'sure' Word to rely on. God bless you.
