Eternity

I carried my soul to the mountainside
To try and remember the times I'd cried
For a world where strangers hunt for peace
A world where danger waits for me
Not a tear remembered
For a billion dying, injured souls
My God, what's wrong with me?
Are there no tears left for humanity?

For I've seen eternity
Open its doors for me
Touching this mountain I climb
And I've seen eternity
Pour out His life for me

I carried my soul to the mountainside
To look at the cities far and wide
I saw the masses buried there
Their frantic struggles to get somewhere
They remain imprisoned
Searching for an inner vision
Lost way back in history
Why can't I feel their misery?

For I've seen eternity
Open its doors for me
Touching this mountain I climb
And I've seen eternity
Pour out His life for me
Reaching beyond space and time

Sorry, I'm really quite sorry
I've given all that I can
How easily we repeat the lie
To the One who gave up His life
Sorry, it's not enough to be sorry
For the triumph of love
Can never be complete
While Jesus searches
For the ones who are lost
Out there in the streets

I carried my soul to the mountainside
To the very hill where they crucified
The only Son that God could send
His only Son who died for men
And my tears remembered
A billion dying, injured souls
Who lay awaiting me
To share with them His victory

For I've seen eternity
Open its doors for me
Touching this mountain I climb
And I've seen eternity
Pour out His life for me
Reaching beyond space and time

I've seen eternity
Open its doors for me
Touching this mountain I climb
And I've seen eternity
Pour out His life for me
Reaching beyond space and time

Whoa-oh...
Touching this mountain I climb
I've seen eternity
Pour out His life for me
