Meaning & Inspiration
“One Day When We All Get to Heaven” by Matt Redman sets a new song of hope beside the older hymn “When We All Get to Heaven.” Redman’s verses begin with “One day,” promising that God will make everything new, that former things will pass away, that questions will be resolved, and that anxious thoughts and fear will be left behind. The lines echo Revelation 21:4-5 and Isaiah 65:17.
The second verse looks toward seeing Jesus “face to face” and being changed, close to 1 Corinthians 13:12 and 15:51-52, and to the freedom of a day when “all the struggle will cease.” The chorus of the hymn then answers with rejoicing: “When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be.”
The page also carries the full text of the hymn, which sings of Jesus’ mercy and grace, a place prepared in the mansions of heaven, the pilgrim pathway, and faithful service. The overall message is hope that carries the singer through present sorrow.
