Matthew Parker - Only a Lifetime Away Lyrics

I realize I've been sitting here for quite a while
Just thinking about heaven
I wonder what it feels like
Just being the presence of God

I can't comprehend it
I can't even comprehend time
So I'm waiting, watchfully waiting
For that wonderful, marvelous day

Coz I've been dreaming of eternity, watching the skies
Waiting for the day when I can gaze into my maker's eyes
I can't wait, can't wait, good thing I'm going soon
Only a lifetime away

Only a lifetime away

I think about the streets of gold
And the mansion you've prepared for me
And I remember all the people who
Are not gonna go there

My heart is heavy now
I want to show them the way
I just want them to be there
Be there with me

Coz I've been dreaming of eternity, watching the skies
Waiting for the day when I can gaze into my maker's eyes
I can't wait, can't wait, good thing I'm going soon
Only a lifetime away

Oh
A lifetime, a lifetime
A lifetime away
Soon
It's soon, it's soon
I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
A lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime away
A lifetime, a lifetime, only a lifetime away
Oh
Only a lifetime away
