Eternity is in our Heart

God placed the thought of life within,
A spark that longs to rise again.
He made the heart with hope to stay,
That death would never have its way.

Though dust returns when breath is gone,
God’s purpose still goes shining on.
His promise stands, both firm and true,
To bring each sleeping soul anew.

Eternity is in our heart,
That’s why we ache when life departs.
God made us not to fade away,
But live again on His new day.

When Christ shall call through morning skies,
The silent graves at last will rise.
No tear will stain that joyful field,
For pain and death shall both be healed.

The wicked tempter’s reign will cease,
And earth shall know restoring peace.
No voice of doubt shall lead astray,
When God begins His perfect day.

Eternity is in our heart,
That’s why we ache when life departs.
God made us not to fade away,
But live again on His new day.

Our loved ones sleep, but not apart,
They rest secure in God’s own heart.
He waits to raise them by His hand,
To walk again upon the land.

So hold to truth, and do not fear,
The time of peace is drawing near.
For life will bloom from dust once more,
When Christ shall open every door.

Eternity is in our heart,
That’s why we ache when life departs.
God made us not to fade away,
But live again on His new day.
Eternity is in our heart,
That’s why we ache when life departs.
God made us not to fade away,
But live again on His new day.
But live again on His new day.
