We sang this newish to me song at Shoreline on Sunday night. I absolutely love the words and it was extremely powerful to hear a room full of high school students singing these words. I always love listening to our students worship; it just doesn't get much better than that. If you have a minute, read the words, and listen (I put a link there at the bottom where you can listen). The words do a great job of putting into perspective what heaven will be and why it's something we should long for.
You Hold Me Now, Hillsong United
On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see you face to face
There surrounded by Your grace
All my fears swept away
In the light of Your embrace
Where Your love is all I need
And forever I am free
Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone
No weeping, no hurt or pain, no suffering
You hold me now, You hold me now
No darkness, no sick or lame, no hiding
You hold me now, You hold me now
In this life I will stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fails
Where Your Name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your Name
I'm believing for the day
Where the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone
No weeping, no hurt or pain, no suffering
You hold me now, You hold me now
No darkness, no sick or lame, no hiding
You hold me now, You hold me now
For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name

I agree with you wholeheartedly and also love hearing them worship! Sunday night was especially precious as they really dug in and let themselves be opened up. Blessed to serve these "little ones" with you!
This song is the last one on the newest Hillsong cd, and I am ADDICTED to the whole thing! It's incredible. I'll listen to this song over and over on my way to work to really let the words sink it.
Oh, I've loved this song since the first time I heard it awhile back- so powerful!
