Words by Carolyn Arends Music by Carolyn Arends and Spencer Capier I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:10-11
It's the feeling that somebody's watching When we're dreaming in the dark It's the whisper we hear in the silence Eternity in our hearts
It's the sense we are meant for a journey But we don't know where to start It's a restlessness nothing can settle Eternity in our hearts
It's the longing for a home We have never known A yearning and a promise
It's the questions without any answers It's a puzzle missing parts It's the secret we've all but forgotten Eternity in our hearts
It's a burden we all bear A blessing we all share An aching and the hope of glory
And for mere flesh and bone to contain it We are almost torn apart But it's the one thing that completes us Eternity in our hearts
And so it's believing that someday We will see things as they are And then we will know there was always Eternity in our hearts
We are blessed with the burden of holding Eternity in our hearts
