Longer Than Forever

I'll need longer than forever
To begin to understand
Why You choose to let my blind eyes
See Your glory
All my reasoning says
There are many others You'd prefer
But I'm more and more convinced
You really love me

A common man befriended
Ransomed by the Lord of all
A captive freed from sin
You caused my heart
To hear You when you called
"Come know My name, come near Me"

When these years on earth have ended
When the veil is pulled away
When the cares of life are cast aside forever
Streets of gold may shine with splendor
Marble palaces may gleam
But their luster will seem pale
When I can see You

Time won't dim the glory
Of the Lamb upon His throne
Endless songs of praise
Won't full tell the wonder of Your call
"Come know My name
Come near Me forever", oh...

Time won't dim the glory
Of the Lamb upon the throne
Endless songs of praise
Won't full tell the wonder of Your call
"Come know My name
Come near Me forever", oh...

"Come be My bride, come know Me
Come, My beloved bride
Come to My side forever, forever"
