“‘Til the Rivers All Run Dry” is a song recorded by American country music artist Don Williams, who co-wrote it with Wayland Holyfield. It was released in December 1975.
‘Till the rivers all run dry
‘Till the sun falls from the sky
‘Till life on earth is through
I’ll be needing you
Those of us, especially with a little Irish, just love those songs that tug on our heart strings and bring strong emotions bubbling up to the surface. The only problem is they are quite divorced from reality and are certainly not Scriptural.
The truth is that earthly relationships end here and believers will be like the angels in heaven-not angels, but like angels. We will know each other, but human relationships and the emotional attachments will be gone.
Mark 12:24-25
Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
Love that can so quickly turn to hate, the drama of the human experience, and reoccurring dilemmas are then just forgotten history.
Give it some thought.
