Lyrics
I see you in the future Yes I do Let us rejoice says the Lord Do not remember the formerly Do not consider the things of Old Behold I am doing a new thing Do you believe it? Do you receive it?

Meaning & Inspiration
I’ve been sitting here thinking about those lines, especially the part about not remembering the things of old. It’s hard, isn't it? Because we carry so much baggage, and the song is really pushing that idea from Isaiah about God doing a new thing. When they sing about looking better in the future, it feels like they’re trying to catch a glimpse of what God is actually working toward in us, that process of being transformed. It’s like Paul talking about being changed from glory to glory, though I wonder if we sometimes confuse that change with just getting what we want, like the talk of enlargement and blessings.
There’s a tension there that I can’t quite shake. When the choir sings "I see you in the scripture," it shifts the focus from just some vague positive future to the actual promises that are already written down. If we’re really looking at the Bible, we see a lot of suffering and refining, not just things getting "better" in the way we usually mean it. Does the song mean better as in more comfortable, or better as in more like Christ? I want to believe the first part—that God is making us new—but then it gets into all those shouts of "Yes Lord" for blessings, and I start wondering if we’re missing the weight of the cross in all that anticipation. It’s comforting to hear that God has a future for me that’s beyond my current struggle, but it makes me nervous to think that maybe I'm too focused on the "enlargement" and not enough on the "new thing" actually being a death to my own way of living. Is the future just a better version of me, or is it a me that’s been completely undone?
