Story behind the song
I have known people that are in the throes of every example given in this song. People are hurting, dying in their sin, abandoned by their spouse.
It is easy to be focused on the Here and Now, and question why God would allow the terror, the war, the hate, the death, the disease, and just the pain that goes with this life.
Yet this life is NOT the end, God has won the Victory, and Beyond these trials there is a wonderful future for those in Christ.
Lyrics
See Beyond
(c)2008 Christopher M Solaas
Today we face uncertain times, of terror, hate, and war
Today we wonder when we'll know just what we're fighting for
Today we see disease and death, and everything goes wrong
But Today is not the end, we know, so we must See Beyond.
See beyond the Here and Now, see beyond the Day to Day
For we know that everlasting life is just a breath away.
When we put things in perspective, we see this will not last long.
Though this life may seem a trial, we must learn to see beyond.
Today, a man is dying, still a prisoner of sin
Today their father left them, and their world is crashing in
Today a lonely student at the end of her rope
Needs a friend to come beside her, and to give the gift of Hope!
Chorus: (2x)
James 4:14
