Every sunrise is another page, Written in the Book of grace. Every heartbeat is a borrowed breath, Closer to forever's place. This world whispers, "Build your throne," But dust can't keep what God has owned. I'm just passing through these streets, Planting heaven with my feet. I'm counting what eternity counts, Not the applause that fades away. I'm trading kingdoms made of sand For treasures time can't take. I'm gonna live for when I leave, For the moment heaven calls my name. When faith becomes my eyes to see, And every scar reveals Your grace. I don't want empty hands that day, I want a life poured out in praise. I'm living now for what remains— I'm gonna live for when I leave. Love the stranger, lift the weak, Speak the truth the world won't speak. Give the cup, forgive the debt, Leave no kindness left unsaid. The cross reminds me every day That losing life is heaven's way. What I surrender here below Becomes the harvest there above. I'm counting what eternity counts, Not the glitter, not the gold. Only what is built on Christ Will outlive this world I know. I'm gonna live for when I leave, For the moment heaven calls my name. When faith becomes my eyes to see, And every scar reveals Your grace. I don't want empty hands that day, I want a life poured out in praise. I'm living now for what remains— I'm gonna live for when I leave. When my last breath becomes my first in glory, Let my story echo Your story. If crowns are given, I'll lay them down, Every victory belongs to You now. Not for comfort... not for fame... Not for fortune... not my name... Every choice, every step, every mile— I'm walking toward forever. I'm gonna live for when I leave, For the only King who never fades. I'll run the race with lifted eyes, Until I hear, "Well done, you've stayed." What I give away is never lost, Heaven keeps what love has sown. This life is just the opening scene— Forever is my home. So while I'm here, let my light shine bright... Until the temporary meets eternal life. I'm not living just to make a living... I'm living for the Kingdom I'm receiving. I'm gonna live... For when I leave.
