In the Meantime

I am currently working on some changes to the blog, which are taking too much time. So, in the meantime, I offer you this little song, "In the Meantime," written by Terry Scott Taylor of Daniel Amos and performed by Taylor and Mike Roe of the 77s. Occasionally Terry and Mike team up with Derri Daugherty of the Choir. At such times, they masquerade as the Lost Dogs, perhaps the greatest non-band of all time. Enjoy.


"Grace has brought us here
because nothing comes by chance
Believers, friends, companions come
to sing, to laugh to dance

It's a little glimpse of Heaven
A peek and whats to come
Where broken things are mended
Every daughter, every son

In the meantime
Let's drift upon a summer breeze
In the meantime
Hang the stars upon the trees
Catch some sunshine in a jar
Drink a glass of latter rain
Though we still remain
We'll imagine Heaven in the meantime

There will be a wondrous day
When we will all be home
The way is through this darkened glass
We'll know as we are known
So let's eat and drink and celebrate
and thank the Lord for friends
Though it is a shadow of a banquet without end

In the meantime
Let's drift upon a summer breeze
In the meantime
Hang the stars upon the trees
Catch some sunshine in a jar
Drink a glass of latter rain
Though we still remain
We'll imagine Heaven in the meantime

We'll forgive as we're forgiven
and embrace as we're embraced
We'll try to love as we are loved
Seeing Jesus in each face
And though we say goodbye today
I'm sure we'll meet again
Here or there, that perfect place
thats just around the bend

In the meantime
Let's drift upon a summer breeze
In the meantime
Hang the stars upon the trees
Catch some sunshine in a jar
Drink a glass of latter rain
Though we still remain
We'll imagine Heaven in the meantime"
