This song's title comes from Revelation 21 where the Apostle John says in verse 4, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

That's where we live now - the days of former things - the days of tears, death, mourning, crying, and pain.  We long for the day when we can refer to these days as those former days that have passed away.

Former Things

Come to me
All who are weary
I'll give you rest
My yoke is easy

Come to me
All who are thirsty
Come buy and eat
Without money

Those who wait for the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings like eagles
They shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and not grow faint
Those who wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength

You are my light
And my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
What shall I be afraid?

Though armies come
Encamp against me
You are my God
And you are with me

Those Who Wait For The Lord

Words and Music by Joel Sczebel

One of my favorite worship songs by one of my favorite worship song writers and a good friend.  Based on Romans 1:7 - "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ."

VERSE 1   
Grace and peace, oh how can this be
For lawbreakers and thieves 
For the worthless, the least
You have said, that our judgment is death
For all eternity
Without hope, without rest
Oh, what an amazing mystery 
What an amazing mystery
That Your grace has come to me

VERSE 2  
Grace and peace, oh how can this be
The matchless King of all 
Paid the blood price for me
Slaughtered lamb, what atonement You bring!
The vilest sinner's heart
Can be cleansed, can be free 
Oh, what an amazing mystery
What an amazing mystery
That Your grace has come to me

VERSE 3   
Grace and peace, oh how can this be
Let songs of gratefulness
Ever rise, never cease
Loved by God and called as a saint
My heart is satisfied
In the riches of Christ
Oh, what an amazing mystery
What an amazing mystery  
That Your grace has come to me 

TAG   	
Oh, what an amazing love I see
What an amazing love I see
That Your grace has come to me

This arrangement was made with creativity and sonic beauty as the guiding factors. My goal in the creativity was to try to capture the tension that exists in this life as a Christian – deep suffering while at the same time peace and security in Jesus as we say, “It is well.” It is oftentimes a darkness and a dissonance that will never be resolved until Jesus returns.

As with all of my arrangements, I aimed to capture a sense of the song in the mood of the arrangement. This song is perhaps one of the most quintessential praise songs ever, so I tried to come up with an arrangement that makes the listener’s heart skip and legs move!

Creativity and sonic beauty were again the guiding factors in this arrangement. I wanted to capture the spirit of the song’s lyric, “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it” by giving the arrangement a feeling of “plodding along.” To me, that’s what life feels like in many ways – sometimes it’s beautiful, sometimes it’s dissonant, sometimes it’s random, sometimes it’s on track.

This arrangement was designed to capture the darkness and emotion of Christ’s passion. Almost like a soundtrack, I wanted it to transport the listener to that very place so that they could give a positive answer to the question - “Were You There?” The last verse, on the resurrection, modulates to a major key but is somewhat still subdued, making this a perfect arrangement for use at Lent, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and even the beginning of an Easter service…or, of course, at any time you want!
