Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Time keeps slippin’ away
And I’ve been longing for my home
With every glimpse of heaven
I am holding onto hope
Lord, to be with You
Is better than this life
Hurry up the day
When my faith shall be sight
VERSE 2
How I yearn to be
Free from these chains
Shed my skin and rise
Join the angels in their praise
In light of grace death
Has lost its fearful sing
To die is gain
For I’ll be with my King
CHORUS
O my soul, lift your eyes
Hope will come, He is Christ
Then in triumph we’ll rise with Him
How long?
Will You come, will You come, will You come
VERSE 3
My head in the clouds
Though my feet upon the dirt
My heart in Your hands
Though my body still on earth
If I were a bird I would
Spread my wings and fly
Leave the world behind
Aim for heaven, say goodbye
