[Spoken Word, female voice] [soft music playing in the background] [Verse 1] Oh, Lord, another day of people acting as if this is all there is And if I were to ever bring up all that you said is true That there will be a resurrection of the just and the unjust That we will all stand before you and give an account That there's a glorious kingdom to come Where the lion will lay down with the lamb Earth will be renewed Jesus, you will reign supremely We will have glorified bodies That will live forever Wow I could use a glorified body One that won't feel the same crazy pulls,, and pains, and sorrows And one that won't ever die Anytime I bring this up People think I'm crazy That only weird people believe that stuff But Jesus, you spoke about it very matter-of-factly, and I believe you I know that there's more than this And this spiritual race I'm in If I finish well, there's a great reward So I need to run with perseverance and patience Because I know I was created for something great I mean, why would I even have this longing if you didn't put that longing in me? And why put a longing in me if you didn't intend to fulfill it? I believe you, Lord, I will follow you no matter what people may say [Chorus: female voice] This longing in my soul To see your blessed [octave higher on the next word “face”] face You'll make this body whole In that forever place Such bliss awaits me there It's more than I can tell So I will run with patience the race set before me and finish well [Verse 2] [spoken word by female] [soft music playing] Lord, like Elisha I don't hear your voice audibly But that still, small voice in the background That lines up with the scriptures I know that's you letting me know This is all true It is! You'll return You'll make all things new And every knee shall bow to you one day [Chorus] [female lead and male response] [female lead] This longing in my soul [male response] I placed that deep in you [female lead] To see your blessed [octave higher on the next word “face”] face [male response] my face you’ll finally see [female lead] You'll make this body whole [male response] I will make all things new [female lead] In that forever place [male response] and you shall reign with me [female lead] Such bliss awaits me there [male response] A place I shall prepare [female lead] It's more than I can tell [male response] so be faithful [female] So I will run with patience the race set before me and finish well [Outro] So I'll run with patience the race set before me And finish well [male response] finish well, finish well
