Lyrics
I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew
But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering
Chorus
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always
I know the journey seems so long
You feel you're walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you've walked out all alone
Chorus
Troubled soul don't lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that's in store
Outweighs the hurt of life's sting
I can't wait until that day where the very one I've lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I've faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery this is why this is why I sing

Meaning & Inspiration
There Will Be a Day places present suffering beside the Christian hope of seeing Jesus face to face. The verses acknowledge the weight of trials, loneliness, fear, and sorrow without minimizing their effect. Against those burdens, the chorus repeats a promised future with no tears or pain. The song holds that expectation together with present endurance, describing hope as something sustained by the word and presence of God until suffering finally ends.
Its clearest biblical connection is Revelation 21:4, where death, mourning, crying, and pain pass away as God wipes every tear. The contrast between temporary hurt and coming glory also resembles 2 Corinthians 4:17, which compares present affliction with an eternal weight of glory. References to rest amid continuing trials may recall Hebrews 4 and its promise of rest for the people of God. The closing image of touching the scars of Jesus keeps this future hope centered on the one whose wounds bring rescue, making worship the response to both present grace and anticipated restoration.
