Dale and Tamson discuss Dale's song "Heaven's Now" (lyrics below). This song was also briefly featured on the podcast about the end times (Season 2 - Episode 2).
Heaven’s Now
Verse 1:
Some people are waiting for that better day
When the Lord’s gonna come again.
They walk that straight and narrow way
They’re trying so hard not to sin.
“Why, look at all the signs” the people say,
“Oh, this world is going to end.
It’s tough and rough to be a Christian today.
I’m sad now, but I won’t be when . . .”
Chorus:
When?
When, when, it’s always when,
People looking for that better day.
If Jesus came to give us the abundant life,
Then He intended no delay.
When, when, it’s always when.
Why wait for that better day?
Jesus came to save us, bring us joy and peace;
Heaven’s right now for the saved.
Verse 2:
Now it’s true that the world will pass away
And that the Lord’s gonna come again,
But life is a gift from God each day
And happy souls are important to him.
So don’t waste your time waiting the rapture
To escape this old world of sin.
Heaven is now for believers to capture;
It’s now, praise God, not when.
Chorus:
When?
When, when, it’s now, not then,
Yes, there is that better day today!
Jesus came to give us the abundant life
And there’s no need for delay.
When, when, it’s now, not then,
Stop searching for that better day.
Jesus has saved us, brought us joy and peace.
Yeah, heaven’s right now for the saved.
Verse 3:
Now the moral of the story
Is to claim God’s gifts today.
There’s no need for you to worry
And there’s no need for delay.
Heaven came down and glory abounds
For all who will trust and obey.
I’m thankful for my home in glory
But even happier for my heaven each day.
Chorus:
When?
When, when, it’s now not then,
Yes, there is that better day today!
Jesus came to save us, bring us joy and peace,
And there’s no need for delay.
When, when, it’s now, not then,
Stop searching for that better day.
Jesus has saved us, brought us joy and peace.
Yeah, heaven’s right now for the saved.
If you’re saved, heaven’s now!
