Sometime We'll Understand

www.sermonsoftheheart.blogspot.com Music by: Rob Gardner Video from The Bible Videos (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) This week marks the sixth year that I've been blessed to participate with a group called Witness Music during the Easter season in performing Rob Gardner's masterful sacred work called Lamb of God, which musically tells the story of the Savior's last week through the eyes of those people who knew Him best. Sitting at our final rehearsal tonight, I found that a single tear was running down my own cheek as we ran through Thomas' number. As I got home tonight, I felt compelled to sit down at the computer and, as I had done with Peter's songs from Lamb of God, to again put video footage from the Bible Videos to Rob Gardner's beautiful songs, this time telling the Thomas story and showcasing his beautiful song, Sometime We'll Understand. I know that there are many days when my own understanding is so shallow in some ways and that there will come a day when I will be able to look back with tearless eyes and see what, here, I could not understand. But for now, I glory in that understanding that I have been blessed with. And I glory in the Spirit of God that gives me hope and reassurance as I make my way through life. If you haven't yet been able to experience Lamb of God, I hope you take the opportunity to do so someday. This music truly has power to change lives. From experience, I can declare that it has changed mine. May you have a wonderful Easter season as you remember the life and the fulfilled mission of our elder brother. ***** Not now, but in the coming years, it may not be when we demand, We'll read the meaning of our tears, and there, sometime, we'll understand. Why what we long for most of all eludes our open, pleading hand; Why ever silence meets our call, somewhere, sometime, we'll understand. Sometime, we'll fall on bended knee, and feel there, graven on His hand, Sometime with tearless eyes we'll see what, here, we could not understand. So trust in God through all thy days; Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand; Though dark thy way, still sing and praise; Sometime, sometime we'll understand.
