He Will

by Ellie Holcomb

Theology & Meaning

A song of confident expectation and eschatological hope, this song declares the certainty of God's promises—that He will do what He has said, He will show up where He is needed, He will restore what has been broken. It draws on the prophetic tradition of Isaiah and the New Testament hope of Revelation 21. Rather than looking back at what God has done, it looks forward with faith to what He will do, making it a song of anticipation and trust.

Worship Leadership Tips

Excellent for Advent services, new year messages, or any moment when a congregation needs to lift their eyes toward what God is going to do rather than being stuck in what currently is. Pair with Isaiah 43:19 or Romans 8:28. The forward-looking posture of the song can reorient a discouraged congregation.

Arrangement Tips

Give this song a bright, open sound with piano and acoustic guitar providing the foundation. The 80 BPM has a gentle optimism—not urgent, but forward-leaning. Allow the chorus to build as the declarations accumulate. This is a song that grows in strength the more times the congregation sings through it.
