about

How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me? Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death, And my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken. But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
(Psalm 13)

'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.
(Jer. 29:11)

When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.
He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
"Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. "Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
(Matt. 15:1-12)

The Lyrics from this song were based on a poem written by Dan Haight. The Poem was written after hearing the concept music that would become this song. The concept music was composed after watching a terrible movie called "Room 1408" (Possibly one of the most hopeless movies I've ever seen).

I sympathized with the main character's longing to be reunited with lost Love, and his anxiety during times of sorrow and hopelessness.

I combined these themes with the scriptures I turn to in times of sorrow for inspiration and clarity. Specifically Jer 29:11, Matt 5:1-12, and Psalm 13

Funny thing - the part about the grain of sand (verse 2) is a "Never Ending Story" reference...LOL!

lyrics

(Verse 1)
So this is the End
The world is all over
There's nowhere to stand
but the words are still here
You thought that all was lost
thought you were dead and gone
you're put back on your feet by the hand of Almighty God
if this is what He does
if this is really Love
then there's a meaning behind the battle we're speaking of


(chorus)
This is the way we start tomorrow
This is how we fight the sorrow
This is how we face the day
Through the power of YHWH

This is the Name we praise forever
This is why we stay together
This will never fade away
The Splendor of YHWH

(Verse 3)
So this is the end
we found the horizon
We're here in his hands
and the path is made clear

His Wisdom will be shown
His perfect Will be known
and every step we choose to follow him we start to grow
and as it starts to show
for all the world to know
May He be honored in the things we do forever more

(Verse 4)
So this is the end
Our lives are laid down here
by the Blood of the Lamb
our debts have been cleared

Salvation will be found
and oh, "How sweet the sound"
to know that we get to enter into the House of God
And as we all kneel down
We'll offer up our crowns
and give him honor and raises unto His name renowned
