Soon One Day is a modern spiritual portraying the hope of heaven against the battle of life. The music is solemn and tense, building into an intense storm (depicting life’s trials), all the while crying out, “hold on to Jesus”. This is one of my most loved pieces by choirs and listeners alike. Your choir and your audiences will love it too!
This piece is also available for mixed chorus (SATB).

Text (by Michael Sandvik)

Soon one day my troubles be over,
soon one day my troubles be done.
Soon one day my troubles be over,
when Jesus comes again.

Hold on to Jesus.
By the blood of the Lamb we will overcome.

No more dying,
no more sorrow,
no more crying,
nor anymore pain.

I know this world is not my home,
my eyes are on Canaan’s land,
and when my Jesus comes for me,
I’ll join that heavenly band.

Hold on to Jesus.
Oh yes I will hold on to Jesus.
By the blood of the Lamb we will overcome.
Hold on to Jesus amidst the trials of life.
Jesus is coming, hold on.

I know this world is not my home,
my eyes are on Canaan’s land,
and when my Jesus comes for me,
I’ll join that heavenly band.

Soon one day my troubles be over,
when Jesus comes again.

-to God alone all glory is given-
