lyrics

Look into my past now,
well it all seems clear to me,
I remember the time,
the place you set me free.
Look into the future now,
where we all go after this,
the choice of sorrow, torture, joy, or bliss.

And the wonder of it all,
some would sacrifice,
gain the world and glory,
yet still miss paradise.

(Chorus)
And if the choice is up to me,
Heavens the place I'd rather be,
take the weight off my shoulders.
No more tears no more doubts.
Worldly things I’ll do without.
No more fears of getting older and older.

I'm so tired of my flesh,
and all its sin filled ways.
The mind gains knowledge,
but all I see is gray.
Give me a vision
of the place I long to go,
mansions with beauty,
and a God who loves me so.

And the wonder of it all,
you would sacrifice,
and lay it all down,
so I could live in paradise.

(Chorus)

It is just a waste of time,
live ‘in just for me and in prime.
I’m living for the day when I leave this place,
and gaze forever on Jesus face.

(Chorus)
