The Best Is Yet To Come
Scott Krippayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He helps me up each time I fall
When I lose hope he gives me courage
So I'll press on and give my all
'cause I know I never have to run alone
and I can hardly wait to make it home
The best is yet to come
I'll finally see my lord and savior face to face
For he has set me free
For all eternity
When my life on earth is done
The best is yet to come
In every joy In every trial
I need to keep my eyes on him
He is the way My sole provider
No matter how the road may bend
When earthly treasures cloud my point of view
He reminds me that I'm only passing through
The best is yet to come
The promise of heaven awaits
I'll finally see my lord and savior face to face
For he has set me free
For all eternity
When my life on earth is done
The best is yet to come
Nothing can compare with what's in store
When we join with the angels singing
Holy is the Lord
The best is yet to come
The promise of heaven awaits
I'll finally see my lord and savior face to face
For he has set me free
For all eternity
When my life on earth is done
The best is yet to come
Oh yes it is
