Eyes Above

Sometimes you have these feelings and these glimpses of a a perfect life you want. You dream and you dream but nothing can satisfy that desire. There is always a longing in your heart to just be and yet to have a grand purpose for your life. You play the "if only" game. Its like having an unquenched thirst for something that seems so far away. I wish that we would only realize that that is our longing for heaven. For our actual home. To see our creator and savior and praise them for all eternity. I want to live with the end in mind. To have a heart set on the path that God is weaving for me. I want to have eyes set on things above.

Since, Then you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. ~Colossians 3:1-4~


You Hold Me Now: Hillsong

On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace
All my fears swept away
In the light of Your embrace
Where Your love is all I need
And forever I am free

Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone

CHORUS:
No weeping no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now
You hold me now

In this life I will stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing theres a greater day
Theres a hope that never fails

Where Your Name is lifted high

And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your Name
Im believing for the day

Where the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone

BRIDGE:
For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name
