Story Behind the Song
“Ten Thousand Years” is a twentieth-century Southern Gospel song, commonly identified by its opening line, “Soon I’ll come to the end of my journey.” It is credited to Elmer Cole and has been widely sung by Southern Gospel quartets and bluegrass-gospel groups. The song meditates on the believer’s hope of heaven and everlasting praise, using the “ten thousand years” image familiar from evangelical hymnody.
