ETERNITY
Embracing Eternal Light: A Spiritual Journey Through Salvatore James' Melody
Lyrics
I just want to rejoice in the presence of the Lord, of the Lord
I desire to celebrate in the presence of the Lord.
The world is dark and cold but Your heart is warm, so warm
The world is challenging, but God's heart is comforting and warm.
I don't ever want to be
I never want to be without God.
I don't ever want to leave
I never want to leave God.
I don't ever want to stay away from You for eternity
I never want to be separated from God for eternity.
Eternity
Emphasizing the concept of eternity.
Oh yeah
Expressing affirmation.
Oh yeah
Reiterating affirmation.

Yet, He has made everything beautiful in it's own time, own time

Oh yet, He has planted eternity into the hearts of kind, mankind

What good is it if you gain the world, but lose your soul

What good is it if you play the game and lose control

I was running the race so well, why'd I back down
Expressing regret for abandoning a positive path.
I was following the truth You sent, why'd I turn around
Expressing regret for turning away from the truth sent by God.
What good is it if you gain the world, but lose your soul

Sometimes I know it's hard but
Acknowledging the difficulty but affirming faith.
If I put You in every situation I deal with, I deal with
Committing to involve God in every life situation.
You're the same God who helped David beat Goliath
Highlighting God's ability to help in challenging situations, referencing the story of David and Goliath.
The same God who parted the Red Sea

So if I ask what shall You not do for me

Oh for me
