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.
