I Thank You For Your Promises

(The Joy That's Waiting There)

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



Lyrics

(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
