We Shall Be Soon
Words by Horatius Bonar (alt Raybourn et al)
Music by Michelle Raybourn, Mikey Rogers, Kevin Twit, Sammi Accola

1. Beyond the smiling, and the weeping, We shall be soon
Beyond the waking and the sleeping,
Beyond the sowing and the reaping, We shall be soon

2. Beyond the blooming, and the fading, We shall be soon
Beyond the shining and the shading,
Beyond the hoping and the dreading, We shall be soon

Chorus: And all our good things turn to dust
Death, decay, and darkness, all take from us
But there will come an end to all our endings
We are waiting, for the Kingdom you are bringing

3. Beyond the rising, and the setting, We shall be soon
Beyond the calming, and the fretting,
Beyond remembering and forgetting, We shall be soon

4. Beyond the coming, and the going, We shall be soon
Beyond the ebbing and the flowing,
Beyond the withering and growing, We shall be soon (chorus)

Ending: Beyond the ever, and the never, We shall be soon.
