The Perfect Day

Dear Benjamin,

I heard a song on the radio today and thought of you. It's a song I've listened to a million times, but I just heard it today. You know how I was so looking forward to 10/10/10. The perfect day. The perfect baby. I was so confident that God was going to answer that prayer and be glorified in the process... Well, I'm still reconciling all of that in my mind, but today I got another thought to add to the mix of questions and what-ifs and whys...

The Perfect Day
by Josh Bates

Creation waits for Him to move.
The revelation of the truth,
Every eye will finally see.
The perfect day will come at last.
He will break the darkened glass.
With everyone on bended knee,
Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a hundred years.

The perfect day will come I know.
When I will dance around the throne.
With the angels, I will give Him praise.
I will finally get to meet the who made joy complete.
The perfect One on the perfect day.
I am waiting for the perfect day.

The world I know will pass away.
Only his love will remain.
All His work will then be done.
With his children gathered 'round,
They will make a joyful sound,
Giving glory to the risen Son.
I'm just a dreamer and I am dreaming of the day.

I will keep my eyes focused on the prize.
I will run to the One who has called me.
Each new day begins singing songs to Him, hallelujah.
You alone are holy. You alone are holy.

His presence sweeter than before,
I won't be crying anymore.
More of Him is all I need.

You alone are holy. You alone are holy. You alone are holy.
Jesus, You are holy. You alone are holy. You alone are holy. You alone are holy. You alone are holy. You alone are holy.
I am waiting for the perfect day.

It's like God reminded me once again that the only perfect day will be when I see HIM face to face. I know that in my head, of course. But my heart still wants my perfect day in October with my perfect baby.
