Jeff and Sheri Easter - Until Then Lyrics
Lyrics
My heart can sing when I pause to remember
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
Along a trail, that's winding always upwards
This troubled world is not my final home
But until then, my heart will go on singing
Until then, with joy I'll carry on
Until the day my eyes behold that city
Until the day God calls me home
The things of earth will dim and lose their value
If we recall, they're borrowed for awhile
The things of earth that cause my heart to tremble
Remember there will only bring a smile
So, until then, my heart will go on singing
Until then, with joy I'll carry on
Until the day my eyes behold that city
Until the day God calls me home
Until the day my eyes behold that city
Until the day God calls me home

Jeff & Sheri Easter - Until Then
Meaning & Inspiration
"Until Then," released by Jeff & Sheri Easter on April 3, 2012, is a profound testament to enduring faith in the face of life's inevitable struggles. The song’s core message resonates with the Christian hope of a heavenly destination, reframing present difficulties not as endpoints, but as transient steps on a journey toward an eternal home. This perspective is deeply rooted in Scripture, echoing sentiments found in passages like Romans 8:18, which states, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." The Easters articulate this with a clarity that encourages listeners to lift their gaze beyond earthly troubles, recognizing that possessions and worldly comforts are ultimately fleeting. Philippians 3:20 beautifully captures this idea, reminding us that our "citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." The recurring refrain, "Until then, my heart will go on singing," is more than a lyrical phrase; it's a declaration of a soul anchored in the promise of Christ's return and the ultimate redemption promised in Revelation 21:4, where it says, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." This song serves as a powerful anthem for believers, reminding them that even amidst hardship, their spirit can remain buoyant, sustained by the unwavering certainty of God's presence and the glorious future awaiting them.
