Hymn
Where Shall I Be?
Hymn
Where Shall I Be? (Cont.)
Explanatory note: This hymn reflects a sense of joyful expectation for the day when Christ returns to bring final deliverance for his people. Although the hymn writer phrases his longing as a question, the song does not convey doubt or dread. Rather, in asking, “Where shall I be?” the believer wonders with a sense of hope about how amazing it will be for God’s people to witness God's final judgment and to enter his presence when the last day comes. As we sing this song, remember that Jesus urges his followers to be always wakeful and ready for his return (Matthew 25:1-13), and rejoice that there is no condemnation for all who are found “in Christ” on that final day (Romans 8:1).
