THE GREAT FAMILY REUNION (Song)
CLICK HERE FOR A BIBLE STUDY ON THE SUBJECT
[Verse 1]
There are pictures on the table,
Precious memories on the wall,
Empty chairs remind us
Of the ones we miss most of all.
We've cried through lonely evenings,
Whispered every precious name,
But the grave is not forever,
Death will someday lose its claim.
[Pre-Chorus]
For a day is surely coming,
When the trumpet will be heard,
And the ones asleep in death
Will awaken at His word.
[Chorus]
Oh, what a great family reunion,
What a glorious day that will be!
When mothers hold their children,
And our loved ones we will see.
Fathers will embrace their sons,
Husbands and wives will meet again.
No more graves and no more goodbyes,
No more sorrow, no more pain.
We'll hold each other once again
In the great family reunion.
[Verse 2]
Some have slept for many years now,
Some have only gone to rest,
But Yahweh has not forgotten
Those we loved and still love best.
Every father, every mother,
Every daughter, every son—
When Yeshua calls the sleeping,
A new life will have begun.
[Pre-Chorus]
And the silence will be broken,
As they rise up from the grave.
Death itself will be defeated
By the mighty One who saves.
[Chorus]
Oh, what a great family reunion,
What a glorious day that will be!
When mothers hold their children,
And our loved ones we will see.
Fathers will embrace their sons,
Husbands and wives will meet again.
No more graves and no more goodbyes,
No more sorrow, no more pain.
We'll hold each other once again
In the great family reunion.
Can you see them in the distance?
Can you hear them call your name?
The faces you have longed to see
Are standing there again.
Every tear of separation,
Every lonely year is through.
And the arms you've dreamed of holding
Are reaching out for you.
OH, WHAT A GREAT FAMILY REUNION!
WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY THAT WILL BE!
Our families gathered together,
Alive for eternity!
Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters,
Loved ones meeting once again.
No more graves and no more goodbyes,
No more sorrow, death, or pain.
We'll hold the ones we've missed so much,
Our separation finally through.
The ones that we have longed to see
Will be standing there anew.
So when another day grows lonely,
And you miss the ones you love,
Remember death is only sleep—
The resurrection is still to come.
One day closer...
One day nearer...
To the great family reunion.
Just beautiful! This is Bible truth and so comforting.
