LifeLink Devotions for Wednesday, September 2, 2026

A few weeks ago we sang a song in church that blends contemporary verses with the chorus of old hymn. I cried as we sang it.  In a world filled with hopelessness and despair the words softened my spirit and changed my perspective. The Holy Spirit moved in my heart and challenged me to do a devotional study on the hope found in Jesus Christ as reflected in the song. I began thinking about all the passages of Scripture that refer to the coming of Jesus Christ and our forever home with Him. So I decided to return to writing and recording my podcast. I invite you to join me in this study and discover the abundance of hope and joy found in the promise that when we get to heaven it will be a day of rejoicing because we will see Jesus face to face and be with our Savior forever.

For today, let the words of the song touch your heart as they did mine. I’ve included a link so you can listen to it. Here are the lyrics.

One Day (When We All Get to Heaven) by Matt Redman

One day You’ll make everything new, Jesus
One day You will bind every wound
The former things shall all pass away
No more tears

One day You’ll make sense of it all, Jesus
One day every question resolved
Every anxious thought left behind
No more fear

When we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When we all see Jesus
We’ll sing and shout the victory

One day we will see face to face, Jesus
Is there a greater vision of grace
And in a moment, we shall be changed
On that day

And one day we’ll be free, free indeed, Jesus
One day all this struggle will cease

And we will see Your glory revealed
On that day

And when we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When we all see Jesus
We’ll sing and shout the victory

Yes, one day we will see face to face, Jesus
Is there a greater vision of grace?
And in a moment, we shall be changed
Yes, in a moment, we shall be changed
In a moment, we shall be changed
On that day

When we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When we all see Jesus
We’ll sing and shout the victory
We’ll sing and shout the victory

We will weep no more. No more tears, no more shame, no more struggle, no more walking through the valley of the shadow of death. No cancer, no depression.
Just the brightness of Your glory, just the wonder of Your grace.
Everything as it was meant to be.
All of this will change
When we see You face to face Jesus, face to face

REJOICE! JESUS IS COMING SOON!
