Song Title: It Won't Be Long Now
Composer: Ross F. Jutsum - 1974
Performed by: Renae Bechthold (Youth Ambassador)
It won't be long now
Till the world is at peace
Till troubles have ceased
It won't be long
It won't be long now
Till the beauty we see
For the whole world will be
It won't be long
CHORUS
The lamb will peacefully dwell with the lion
The leopard will lie down with the kid
The wolf and the bear will no longer be wild
Little child, it won't be long now
It won't be long now
Till all people join hands
From many a land
It won't be long
It won't be long now
Till the children will smile
And laugh all the while
It won't be long
(CHORUS)

Analysis of the residue:
Supporting sentence structures:
- "dwell with the" (formerly: lay down with the) - (Lion/Lamb) context
- "lie down with the" (Leopard/Kid) context
These supporting sentence structures help to indicate the exact location for the lion and lamb within the FIRST half of Isaiah 11:6 (where the change takes place)
This residue reveals that the animals that once were engrained within the FIRST half of Isaiah 11:6 were the lion and the lamb; not wolf. The switch of location between "lion" and "lamb" within verse 6 of this song, reveals a smoother and more rhythmical tone. Thus, this switch doesn't take away from verse 6 since the switch is taking place within/around the supporting sentence structure: "dwell with the"..
