I think we all need to have an eternal perspective. Life is shorter than we realize.
Lyrics
If this life was all there was
That would be sad, sad thing
But for those who do the will of God
It's the closest to hell we'll be
So why do I hold onto this life
Like it's a great place to be?
Why do I hold onto this life
And trust in only what I see?
When there's a better place to be in
Eternity
It's a place He has promised for those who will believe
Eternity
Seems so far away yet closer than the air I breathe
Eternity
If you think this is all there is
And Heaven really isn't there
That's a dangerous place to be
Living life without a care
So why do I hold onto this life
Like it's a great place to be?
Why do I hold onto this life
And trust in only what I see?
When there's a better place to be in
Eternity
It's a place He has promised for those who will believe
Eternity
Seems so far away yet closer than the air I breathe
Eternity
My mind cannot even comprehend
All that Heaven will be
So here I am praying and believing that someday I will see
Someday I will be in Eternity . . .
