Lyrics
Verse 1
What would it be like
When my pain is gone
And all the worries of this world
Just fade away
What will it be like
When You call my name
And that moment when I see You
Face to face
Pre-Chorus
I'm waiting my whole life
To hear You say
Chorus
Well done, well done
My good and faithful one
Welcome to the place
Where you belong
Well done, well done
My beloved child
You have run the race
And now you're home
Welcome to the place
Where you belong
Verse 2
What will it be like
When tears are washed away
And every broken thing
Will finally be made whole
What will it be like
When I come into Your glory
Standing in the presence of a Love
So beautiful
Pre-Chorus
I'm waiting my whole life
For that day
I will live my life
To hear You say
Chorus
Well done, well done
My good and faithful one
Welcome to the place
Where you belong
Well done, well done
My beloved child
You have run the race
And now you're home
Welcome to the place
Where you belong
Bridge
What will it be like
When I hear that sound
All of heaven's angels crying out
Singing holy, holy, holy are You Lord
Singing holy, holy, holy are You Lord
Singing holy, holy, holy are You Lord
Pre-Chorus
Waiting my whole life
For that day
Until then I'll live
To hear You say
Chorus
Well done, well done
My good and faithful one
Welcome to the place
Where you belong
Well done, well done
My beloved child
You have run the race
And now you're home
Welcome to the place
Where you belong

Meaning & Inspiration
“Well Done” looks ahead to the moment of meeting God after this life. The verses ask what it will be like when pain is gone, worries fade, tears are washed away, and broken things are made whole. They picture hearing God call the singer’s name and seeing Him face to face.
The chorus gives the answer the singer is waiting for: “Well done, well done, my good and faithful one,” followed by “Welcome to the place where you belong” and “You have run the race and now you’re home.” The bridge adds a heavenly scene of angels crying out “holy, holy, holy are You Lord.” The refrain “I will live my life to hear You say” ties that future hope to present faithfulness.
The central line is close to Matthew 25:21, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant,” while the face-to-face meeting recalls 1 Corinthians 13:12. Revelation 21:4 speaks of the end of tears, and 2 Timothy 4:7 of finishing the race. The song is a hopeful look at heaven.
