Forever Is a Long Time

Today I read in a book that some are
Meant to live forever
There's also a nightmare where our
Dying has no end

If I let my will surrender
And my flesh be crucified
In his name my sins will be sublime
Forever is a long, long time

It's said love is a gift that's given
If we're true believers
Just make your body and your soul
His receivers

In this world these golden rules
May seem like they're made for fools
Puppets on a string that blessing can bring
Forever is a long, long time
Forever is a long, long time

But now the wine has turned sour after
All these years of fighting
So many wars and still his kingdom
Is not striking

Pray for your enemy
Love without agony
Always ready for his day to come
Forever is a long, long time
Forever is a long, long time
