Verse 1)
I see the seasons drifting like the leaves upon the ground
The ticking of the clock is such a heavy, haunting sound.
We try to hold the sunset, try to bottle up the rain
Searching for a remedy to numb the coming pain.
But this body is a tent, and this world is just a road
A place where we are traveling and carrying the load
Until we see the city that no human hand could build
Where every empty longing is finally, fully filled.
(Chorus)
Oh, I’m anchored in the promise of the Life that has no end
In the arms of the Creator, the Brother, and the Friend.
This world is just a whisper, but His Word is like a roar
Calling us to step onto that bright and distant shore.
Beyond the reach of time, beyond the reach of grave
By the blood of the Redeemer and the soul He came to save.
I have Eternal Life, I have a home above
Wrapped in the beginning of an Unending Love.
(Verse 2)
They laid Him in a garden, in a silence cold and deep
While the stars kept watch above Him and the world began to weep.
But the grave is just a doorway that He shattered with His light
The morning sun is breaking through the middle of our night.
Because the Stone was rolled away, the sting of death is gone
We aren't walking toward the darkness, we are walking toward the dawn.
The breath that He breathed back to life is the breath inside us now
The seal upon our foreheads and the light upon our brow.
(Chorus)
Oh, I’m anchored in the promise of the Life that has no end
In the arms of the Creator, the Brother, and the Friend.
This world is just a whisper, but His Word is like a roar
Calling us to step onto that bright and distant shore.
Beyond the reach of time, beyond the reach of grave
By the blood of the Redeemer and the soul He came to save.
I have Eternal Life, I have a home above
Wrapped in the beginning of an Unending Love.
(Verse 3)
So I’m looking past the valley, past the shadow and the fear
To the day He wipes the final trace of every bitter tear.
No more parting, no more hollows, no more "goodbye" for a while
Just the radiance of Heaven and the Savior’s welcome smile.
It’s a life that never withers, it’s a spring that never dries
It’s the glory of the Father reflected in our eyes.
Death is just a shadow that has lost its right to stay
For we are children of the Kingdom and the Everlasting Day
.
(Chorus)
Oh, I’m anchored in the promise of the Life that has no end
In the arms of the Creator, the Brother, and the Friend.
This world is just a whisper, but His Word is like a roar
Calling us to step onto that bright and distant shore.
Beyond the reach of time, beyond the reach of grave
By the blood of the Redeemer and the soul He came to save.
I have Eternal Life, I have a home above
Wrapped in the beginning of an Unending Love.
(Bridge)
Holy, Holy, Holy—the song will never cease
In the garden of His presence, in the Sabbath of His peace.
From the first breath of creation to the ending of the age
He is writing out our story on an everlasting page.
I’m alive! I’m ali
