Another hit by the king of gospel. After being released in September 2008, "There Will Be a Day" was quickly successful on Christian radios, becoming a number 1 hit on R&R's Christian CHR chart by the beginning of December. It stayed at the top position for nine consecutive weeks. During the month of January 2009, it stayed at number 1 for three weeks on the Christian AC chart.

I try to hold on to this world
With everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings
And the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end
His word declares this truth
That we will enter in this rest
With wonders anew
But I hold on to this hope
And the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day
When the burdens of this place
Will be no more
We’ll see Jesus face to face
But until that day
We’ll hold on to You always

I know the journey seems so long
You feel you’re walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you’ve walked out all alone
Troubled soul, don’t lose your heart
Cause joy and peace He brings
And the beauty that’s in store
Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting
But I hold on to this hope
And the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day
When the burdens of this place
Will be no more
We’ll see Jesus face to face
But until that day
We’ll hold on to You always

I cant wait until that day
Where the very one I’ve lived for always
Will wipe away the sorrow that I’ve faced
To touch the scars that rescued me
From a life of shame and misery
Oh, this is why, this is why I sing

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day
When the burdens of this place
Will be no more
We’ll see Jesus face to face

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day
When the burdens of this place
Will be no more
We’ll see Jesus face to face

There will be a day
He will wipe away the tears
He will wipe away the tears
He will wipe away the tears
There will be a day
