Words & Music: Mike Hudson and Michael W. Smith Looking at the future Who can tell you what is going on It seems we have become the 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 I know And I tell you Chorus: I am sure there will be a day But it will not be like the nations 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 God will meet every cry of the heart 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 every now and then I stop and close my eyes I 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 Oh, I pray for you 'Cause He wants you to go I know And I tell you Chorus
