Eternity

Pull back the curtain of eternity
Give us a glimpse from within
Of the new life that awaits God's children
Those, whom he has saved from sin.

No day or night will we know in that place,
No moon or sunlight will shine.
No pain or sickness can enter that realm,
This world of eternal time.

We'll all gather round the marriage table,
We'll be there from far and wide,
No denominations or church labels,
Just unity in the Bride.

We'll spend eternity in his Presence,
We'll sing and praise and rejoice,
A thousand years will seem but a day,
As we extol with unending voice.
