DAY 6 OF 365

Soon and Very Soon

Andraé Crouch

Soon and very soon

We are going to see the King

Soon and very soon

We are going to see the King

Soon and very soon

We are going to see the King

Hallelujah, hallelujah

We are going to see the King

No more crying there

We are going to see the King

Hallelujah, hallelujah

We are going to see the King

No more dying there

We are going to see the King

No more dying there

Hallelujah, hallelujah

We are going to see the King

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Should there be any rivers we must cross

Should there be any mountains we must climb

God will supply all the strength that we need

Give us grace ’til we reach the other side

We have come from every nation

God knows each of us by name

Jesus took his blood and he washed our sins

And he washed them all away

Yes, there are some of us

Who have laid down our lives

But we all shall live again

On the other side

 

Hallelujah.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah

Behind the Song

Andraé Crouch is a pastor, songwriter, producer and artist who has had an immense impact on the Christian music world over the last 50 years. His unique style of songwriting and performing brought African-American and white audiences together like no artist before or since. “Soon and Very Soon” — one of his most popular congregational songs — has been beloved for so long that many people believe it is an old hymn. The song was actually written in 1976, however, and has been recorded many times since then.

“Soon and Very Soon” employs the simple style of traditional spiritual, from its easy-to-learn lyrics and rhythmic patterns to its hopeful message. Spirituals often used music to deliver and to reinforce hopeful messages of future relief from the temporal suffering and bondage experienced by slaves and other oppressed people. “Soon and Very Soon” is certainly no exception. The lyric features resolute optimism about a coming deliverance from this world of tears, death and oppression.
