"We Will Meet" a new song in a time of separation

I heard this today and found renewed hope.
I share it with you with gladness.

"We Will Meet"

We will meet when the danger is over.
We will meet when the sad days are done.
We will meet sitting closely together
and be glad our tomrrow has come.

We will join to give thanks and sing gladly.
We will join to break bread and share wine,
and the peace that we pass to each other
will be more than a casual sign.

So let's make with each other a promise
that when all we've come through is behind,
we will share what we missed and find meaning
in the things that once troubled our mind.

Until then may we always discover 
faith and love to determine our way. 
That's our hope and God's will and our calling 
for our lives and for ev'ry new day.
