Lyrics
We’ve seen too many fences
Built between the hearts of men
Too many wounds left open
Too much hurt to count again
We’ve watched the strong take shelter
While the weak were left behind
And wondered if this broken world
Would ever be made right
But there’s been a quiet promise
Like the dawn before the sun
A whisper through the ages
That the King is going to come
And every tear that’s fallen
And every prayer delayed
Will find its answer in the light
Of an everlasting day
There will come a day
There will come a day
When fear will lose its shadow
And sorrow fades away
There will come a day
When every heart will know
The peace of God will fill the earth
Like rivers overflow
The proud will lay their weapons down
The angry learn to rest
The nations stop their striving
And the weary will be blessed
No child will fear tomorrow
No mother weep alone
For righteousness and mercy
Will sit upon the throne
The desert will remember
What the rain was meant to be
And songs of joy will echo
From the mountains to the sea
The earth will wear its beauty
The way it wore it first
And all creation finally free
From every ancient curse
There will come a day
There will come a day
When fear will lose its shadow
And sorrow fades away
There will come a day
When every heart will know
The peace of God will fill the earth
Like rivers overflow
The wolf beside the lamb
The leopard with the kid
The lion and the calf
No fear in where they live
A little child shall lead
And none shall hurt nor harm
For the earth shall be filled
With the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters fill the sea
There will come a day
There will come a day
When fear will lose its shadow
And sorrow fades away
There will come a day
When every heart will know
The peace of God will fill the earth
Like rivers overflow
There will come a day
There will come a day
And all the world will know
The peace of God
