A university choir delivered a powerful and soul-stirring performance of the classic “Soon and Very Soon.” You’ll want to watch and listen to this absolutely splendid and dazzling rendition repeatedly. Check out the video for the rendition of the timeless tune.

As much as people may want to avoid thinking or talking about death, it is very real. It’s something that we’ll all experience at one time or another. It’s an event that will and probably already has impacted your life. Ironically, death is another, but often depressing and painful, part of life.

Death, because of all the unknowns surrounding it, is a significant fear for many people. However, that does not have to be the case. Even though death is something that we will all encounter, it is possible to face it without fear. Because of the love and forgiveness freely offered by Jesus Christ, we can rest assured of where we’ll end up after our time on Earth is over.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the Nebraska Wesleyan University Choir, a choir of young people, sings a beloved tune about facing death with joy and happiness. Because of Christ’s love and forgiveness, they know and understand that Heaven is their destination.

“Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King!

Soon, and very soon, we are going to see the King!

Soon, and very soon, we are going to see the King!

Hallelujah, hallelujah”

Yes, losing a loved one will forever and always hurt. Time may lessen the sting some, but their absence from our lives will be noticeable, serving as a painful reminder of who we’ve lost. However, if they knew Christ and accepted Him as their personal Lord and Savior, knowing that they are in Heaven can and will be a bright, uplifting spot throughout the sadness and pain.

Also, if we accept Christ's forgiveness and love, we can sing those lyrics with the same excitement and without any fear of death.

John 14:3 “And If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may also go.”
