Story Behind the Song
This song just hit me one day and I immediately recorded it on my Korg Trinity. I used the sound called "New Set of Strings" which is a combo acoustic guitar and world strings mix. When we took it into the studio, Rick took it to another level - adding a harp arrangement to the beginning and getting Kush El-Amin (among the best bassists in the DC area) to play the bassline on an upright bass. In my opinion it is among the best songs on the CD.
Lyrics
[Harp Intro]
I wonder (harmonies).
[Hook]
After all the pain has ended.
After All the wounds are mended.
Everything takes place He intended.
We will reign with Christ, time suspended.
On those days trials weigh me down,
I long for a time called after all.
Don't lose heart, soon He will return.
Beloved we'll see Him, after all.
[Verse]
There are days the pain is so tremendous.
Can't go on, feel like I'll surrender.
Then I pray, Jesus name, there is no other.
Take me now, but it's too soon and I wonder.
I wonder.
[Hook]
After all the pain has ended.
After All the wounds are mended.
Everything takes place He intended.
We will reign with Christ, time suspended.
On those days trials weigh me down,
I long for a time called after all.
Don't lose heart, soon He will return.
Beloved we'll see Him, after all.
