“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, not sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4 NKJV As many of us today, Jim Hill could not understand why his mother- in-law had gotten very ill. She was a godly woman and a good person. This was in the early 1950’s and Hill was a new Christian.
Having a tremendous tenor voice and a background in music, Hill was given insight to a new song, “What a day that will be!” God laid on his heart the verse from Revelation and from that verse he penned his song.
With all the unrest that is happening in the world today, Christians are having a hard time understanding why God is allowing this to happen. The pain and misery that is being created by people who do not care about others, their businesses, their homes, and their lives, are getting so much media attention that many others, Christian and non-Christian, are joining their ranks.
