| There used to be a time when we were fine
|
| Living life with no particular religious bend
|
| Pretending to be our own gods
|
| Inventing our own systems of belief so as to not depend
|
| On anything other than our own self-governing consent
|
| Defending an impending doom with no perceived need
|
| To concede or repent, presuming our innocence in a sense to sin;
|
| The sting of death was only the inevitable end
|
| Of everything we could never rightly understand or comprehend
|
| We used to fear the unknown 'til God made himself known
|
| And atoned, mending the relationship between God and men
|
| Giving His life as a ransom for many when He died and ascended
|
| And in that one event the certainty of eternal death was circumvented
|
| Making a way for the day when history stops and time suspends
|
| Spending eternity in fellowship that never ends
|
| We see the greatest expression of God’s love extended in that moment
|
| When those who were once enemies instead became God’s friends
|
| And when it’s my time to go
|
| Go ahead and take me home
|
| I know I’ll be with you
|
| I know I’ll be with you
|
| When it is my time to go
|
| Go ahead and take me home
|
| Nowhere that I’d rather go
|
| I wanna be with you
|
| How sweet the Gospel sounds to ears like mine
|
| Well acquainted with pain and strained relationships
|
| Friendships that suffer from long distances
|
| Or even worse they get severed from something more severe
|
| And He still hasn’t wiped away all my tears yet
|
| My cheeks get wet every now and then
|
| Even when I give my best, I know I fall short
|
| I get scared when the ball’s in my court
|
| Focused on my performance, wretched and poor
|
| It makes the message more real when I preach it
|
| I’m not there yet so I’m reaching, reaching for a goal:
|
| To stand before my King and be speechless
|
| Then, never again will I question if His grace is sufficient to cover my sin
|
| Cause death is gone, and all the effects of evil and wrong
|
| Will be conquered when His Kingdom comes
|
| So this is my hope and my prayer
|
| The air that I’ll breathe in eternity with lungs that never fail me
|
| If it pleases my Lord, and only by Your grace
|
| Use my life 'til it’s poured out for Your sake
|
| Until then I’ll remain where You have me
|
| With joy when I feel unhappy
|
| And a peace that surpasses all my understanding
|
| My life is in the hands of Your love everlasting
|
| And when it’s my time to go
|
| Go ahead and take me home
|
| I know I’ll be with you
|
| I know I’ll be with you
|
| When it is my time to go
|
| Go ahead and take me home
|
| Nowhere that I’d rather go
|
| I wanna be with you
|
| And when it’s my time to go
|
| Go ahead and take me home
|
| I know I’ll be with you
|
| I know I’ll be with you
|
| When it is my time to go
|
| Go ahead and take me home
|
| Nowhere that I’d rather go
|
| I wanna be with you |
