Soon and Very Soon

Theology & Meaning

A joyful declaration of anticipation for Christ's return and the believer's entrance into heaven, drawing on the 'soon and very soon' language of Revelation. The song turns eschatological expectation into present praise—the coming reality is so certain it warrants celebration now.

Worship Leadership Tips

Beloved in Black church tradition and widely used across denominations. Works for funerals as an expression of hope (as Crouch intended—it's a victory song), Easter, or any eschatology-focused service. The marching feel creates natural energy and movement.

Arrangement Tips

March-like gospel feel. Strong piano and organ. Clapping on beats 2 and 4 is natural. The 'No more crying there / No more dying there' sections build toward the triumphant chorus. Full choir arrangement is ideal; smaller teams can strip to piano and lead vocal with great effect.
