Song Meaning
Matt Redman's "One Day (When We All Get to Heaven)" begins with new verses full of promise: "One day you will make everything new," "No more tears," "One day every question resolved." Each line is addressed to Jesus, and each one describes an ache that will end, from anxious thoughts to the long struggle.
Those verses lead into the refrain of Emily D. Wilson's hymn, "When we all get to heaven, / What a day of rejoicing that will be!" Redman's text looks ahead to seeing "face to face" and being "free indeed," and the hymn answers with "We'll sing and shout the victory." The page also carries the older hymn's full stanzas, from the "pilgrim pathway" and its clouds to the "pearly gates" and streets of gold.
Pairing a modern set of verses with a well-loved hymn gives the song two layers of longing. The newer lines name present fears, the older ones name the road, and both arrive at the same promise from Revelation and Paul that what is partial now will be complete when believers see Christ.

One Day you will bind every root
The Former things shall all pass away
No more tears
One day you will make sense of it all Jesus
One day every question resolved
Every anxious thought left behind
No more fear
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
One day we will see face to face Jesus
Is there a greater vision of grace?
And in the moment we shall be changed
On that day
One day we'll be free free indeed Jesus
One day all the struggle will cease
We will see your glory revealed
On that day
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
Ooh One day One day We'll be singing loud ...
HERE IS THE POPULAR HYMN LYRICS When We All Get To Heaven by Emily D. Wilson
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessed
He’ll prepare for us a place.
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when travelling days are over,
Not a shadow, not a sigh.
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving every day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open;
We shall tread the streets of gold.e
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
