Luke 21:25-28 (NIV) "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." 1 John 2:28 And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. This song echoes "To Be With You" as a cry for the Lord's return and physical reign on earth, yet affirms that His promise is sure. Several authors throughout scripture, including the Lord Jesus Himself proclaimed, "Heaven and earth will pass away, by My Words will never pass away." I want to be confident and unashamed before Jesus at His coming, and I want to trust Him when He promises that the day is drawing near and never fear.
lyrics
Oh such pain. So much waiting
So many lies, my heart prone to wander
I’m growing anxious
But I’m hanging on your words
Heaven and earth will pass away
But your words will never fail
The whole world will be perplexed as these signs
But we will stand and lift up our heads
As you come
Our redemption is drawing near
Soon you will come in the clouds
The whole world will fear as the day is drawing near
But we will stand and lift up our heads
As you come
The time of trial and testing has come
Be always on the watch and pray
I will wait on the Lord
I will trust in His Name
His words will never pass away
Come soon, we wait for you
Come soon, we wait for you
Hasten the day oh righteous King
We long to see your face King Jesus

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
