I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
That we will enter in this rest with wonders anew
But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jeremy_camp/there_will_be_a_day.html ]
(Chorus)
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always
I know the journey seems so long
You feel you're walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you've walked out all alone
(Chorus)
Troubled soul don't lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that's in store
Outweighs the hurt of life's sting
I can't wait until that day where the very one I've lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I've faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery this is why this is why I sing

"the many trials that seem to never end. " is referring to the trials of life or the harshness of sins repeating tragedies. "his word declares the truth. " obviously, that through everything you go through in life the word of god is the only thing you can fully believe in. "troubled soul don't lose your heart, cause joy and peace he brings, and the beauty that's in store, outweighs the hurt of life's sting. " this is saying that no matter what happens to you don't loose faith in god for the events of the future will be overcome the hurt of sin.
What this song means to me. In the bible it says there will be no more pain and no more sorrow no more suffering,when we go to heaven. Jesus will take that all away. For jeremy he wrote this for his first wife who died of overan cancer and he was praying to god saying why did you take her away from me. She was really sick telling jeremy that she was ready to meet jesus face to face. So be ready cause he's coming back
