A Day Is Gonna Come

“I don’t know when but a day is gonna come, when there won’t be a moon and there won’t be a sun. It will all go black. It will all go back to the way it is supposed to be.

“Or is it true what they say about the Son of God? Did he die for us? Did he die at all? And if I sold my soul for a bag of gold, which one of us would be the foolish one? Which one of us would be the fool?”

— Bright Eyes, Lifted, “Don’t Know When But a Day Is Gonna Come.”

“For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have died in Christ have perished. If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.

“But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.”

— St. Paul, 1 Corinthians 15:16–20.
