Melinda Doolittle Performs “There Will Come A Day” on American Idol

by Jason Bean on April 24th, 2007

I’m just catching up on tonight’s episode of American Idol and their special “Idol Gives Back” show. What a great effort by an organization with some serious clout and weight that could really get some things changed. A single sponsor will be donating $5M if there are 50 million votes casted tonight.

Melinda Doolittle performed a song by Faith Hill titled “There Will Come A Day” from her “Breathe” album. I’m not a country music fan, so I’d never heard this song before that I can remember. However, with Melinda Doolittle performing it for what I consider the first time I’ve ever heard it, it was amazing! Absolutely embedded with Christian lyrics and meaning. I believe we’re going to work on working that into a special performance at our church in the near future.

Just read the lyrics below:

There Will Come A Day by Faith Hill 

It’s not easy trying to understand
How the world can be so cold, stealing the souls of man
Cloudy skies rain down on all your dreams
You wrestle with the fear and doubt
Sometimes it’s hard but you gotta believe

Chorus:
There’s a better place, where our Father waits
And every tear He’ll wipe away
The darkness will be gone,the weak shall be strong
Hold on to your faith

There will come a day, there will come a day
Wars are raging, lives are scattered
Innocence is lost, and hopes are shattered
The old are forgotten, the children are forsaken
In this world we’re living in
Is there anything sacred?

There will come a day, there will come a day
The song will ring out, down those golden streets
The voices of earth with the angels will sing
Every knee will bow, sin will have no trace
In the glory of His amazing grace
Every knee will bow, sin will have no trace
In the glory of His amazing grace
There will come a day, there will come a day
Oooh there will come a day
I know there’s coming a day, coming a day

You can hear and download Melinda’s performance at the American Idol website.
