This week’s featured song story comes to us from The Afters. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their brand new single “Well Done.”
“Someday we’re all gonna leave this world. We’re gonna leave behind the pains, the hearteache, all the struggles of this world.It’s all gonna be washed away and we’re gonna go before Jesus. We’re gonna find ourselves in a place where we belong more than we’ve ever belonged before. A place where we’re more at home than we’ve ever felt before. A place where we’re going to experience a love unlike we’ve ever known before. And we’re gonna go before Jesus and hear the words ‘well done my good and faithful servant.‘” – Josh Havens (The Afters)

The Afters – “Well Done (Single)”
“Well Done” Lyrics
What would it be like? When my pain is gone
And all the worries of this world just fade away
What will it be like? When You call my name
In that moment when I see You face to face
Waiting my whole life to hear You say
Well Done, well done
My good and faithful one
Welcome to the place where you belong
Well done, well done
My beloved child
You have run the race and now you’re home
Welcome to the place where you belong
What will it be like? Tears are washed away
And every broken thing will finally be made whole
What will it be like? When I come into Your glory.
Standing in the presence of a love so beautiful.
Waiting my whole life to hear You say
I will live my life to hear You say
Well Done, well done
My good and faithful one
Welcome to the place where You belong
Well done, well done
My beloved child
You have run the race and now you’re home
Welcome to the place where you belong
What will it be like? When I hear that sound
All of heaven’s angels crying out
Singing Holy, Holy, Holy are You Lord
Singing Holy, Holy, Holy are You Lord
Singing Holy, Holy, Holy are You Lord
Waiting my whole life for that day
Until then I’ll live to hear You say
Well done, well done
My good and faithful one
Welcome to the place where you belong
Well done, well done
My beloved child
You have run the race and now you’re home
Welcome to the place where you belong
Well done

Wow! I heard that song on the radio last week.
“Well done” I could hear my father saying to me. I’m not Christian, but that song, those words, I immediately felt my father with me. Tears were flowing. My life has changed so much since he died over 15 years ago. I wish he could hug me and say those words. I had to look it up and find out more about the song. Knowing the backstory makes so much sense and I really felt it. Thank you for writing it and singing it so beautifully.

The husband of a couple that leads my Bible study went home to be with the Lord two days ago. A faithful servant of God is with Jesus.
I heard this song today in my car for the first time and thought about my friend.
