Cindy Clark's 'A Future Song': A Song of Praise


Cindy Clark's 'A Future Song' is a special song inspired by the book of Revelation. The lyrics for this song are the versus that will be sung in the future by different people, saints, and the elders in heaven, and these songs will be sung at the end of this age. She wrote it while preparing for her 2023 album. One summer morning, Cindy was on her porch reading the last chapter of the Bible. As she read, she began to hear a melody form in her mind. She went to her piano and began to play, creating a few sections from Revelation 4 and 5. But she was still missing the first verse. She prayed, and God led her to Revelation 15, revealing the "Song of Moses," where it said, "They held harps given them by God and sang the song of God's servant Moses and of the Lamb." 

Cindy Clark - A Future Song'A Future Song' is a song of praise, singing praises in awe of God's deeds and the justice of His ways. The pre-chorus emphasizes God's holiness and that the nations will worship Him (… what a contrast it will be to what the world is going through today!!). The chorus exalts our God, who sits on the throne, and the Lamb with praise, honor, wisdom, and strength. 

The song continues and echoes the holiness and worthiness of God, celebrating His eternal reign. 

The book of Revelation is not the easiest of the Bible books to read and grasp, and Cindy has done a great job to make this part of Revelation more accessible. May this song stir your heart and remind you of the eternal praises that we may join in heaven.

(Related scripture: Revelation ch. 4, 5, and 15)

"King, Lamb, Lion" by Ben Jero & Graham Guy: When the World Runs Dry

What happens when the world just isn’t enough?  In early 2025, Graham Guy was reading Revelation chapter 4. The picture of heaven gathered around the throne — declaring God holy and worthy of praise — planted the seed for this song. Three words surfaced from that moment: “King, Lamb, Lion.” Graham sent them to Ben Jero, and across a string of FaceTime calls between South Carolina and California, the song “King, Lamb, Lion” took shape.  The opening verse doesn’t pretend. “I’ve tried this world, but it won’t fill me,” the lyric admits, before landing at surrender: “My life laid down, at your feet.” That’s honest territory. Most of us have chased something we thought would satisfy, only to find ourselves empty-handed. The song changes our focus to lasting results. “The old is gone, the new has come,” it declares, repeating a promise found in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Notice what that ...

"Stand By Me" by Daniel Aranda: Finding Steadiness in Life's Storms

Who’s standing with you in the storm? “Stand By Me” by Daniel Aranda is an amazing rendition of a hymn written by Charles Albert Tindley in 1905. Tindley was the son of a former slave, a man who knew what it meant to need help that wasn’t guaranteed. He didn’t write from comfort. He wrote from the middle of a fight, and that’s exactly why the song is still so relevant and cherished by many today. Daniel Aranda’s recording brings gospel legends Terry Blackwood and Charlie McCoy into that same lineage, carrying Tindley’s plea forward into a new generation.  The lyrics move through life’s troubles, one verse at a time. “When the storms of life are raging, stand by me”  — that’s not poetic exaggeration. Tindley’s first verse is about a ship tossed on open water, powerless against the waves. Then verses about failing strength, friends who misunderstand your best efforts, persecution, and the song ends with a verse about old age creeping toward “chilly Jordan.” Each of the verses names ...

"Paper Lantern Heart" by MK Green: When God Lights a Fire You Can't Contain

What happens when God lights a fire in you?  Some fires refuse to stay hidden. MK Green wrote “Paper Lantern Heart” around that exact truth, inspired by Jeremiah 20:9, where the prophet admits that he tried to stop preaching but simply couldn’t. The Word burned inside him “like a fire shut up in my bones.” Green’s lyrics echo that same struggle: “Behind the bones inside my chest there burns a paper heart.” Cold turns to burning. Silence turns to song. “I was cold as stone until You lit a spark,” the chorus declares, and something about that image sticks with you long after the music fades.  Here’s the question worth pondering: What do you do when God ignites something in you that won’t stay quiet?  Jeremiah tried holding it in, and that exhausted him. “There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9). That weariness sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe you’ve felt the nudge to speak up, ...
