Things That Last
Love from the mom who brought you
Into this world, invited you
To believe in the good, the inspiring,
All the joy and beauty – the enchanting,
The miracles that come to those
Who understand that love is the answer,
Love, from above, is the light that shines
Through the worries, the doubts, the confusion
That clouds the feelings, the beautiful
With reservations, disbeliefs, suspicions
That pursue the heart and soul with trouble,
Struggles that refuse to know the wonders
Believing in the Love inspired by always,
Love brought to life by the Son who came to us
To forgive, ignite, remind us that, surely as He lives…
There will be forever to abide with Him,
The love that is greater than any love we’ll ever feel
Love from the hearts who know you and see
The beautiful within, the miracles brought to life
On the heals of grace and peace, mercy that always
Believes He will have the victory… always
Living inside of each one who believes, He agrees
To be the kindness, the gentle, the sincerity –
The reassurance that forever will answer every tear
With the answers that remain hidden while here,
Shadowed by the past and all its depression,
Stalked by the fears, the tears and the many years
Before Jesus became the victor inside of the soul
Who knows He is there, fully alive and in control
Making a way where no way has been known…
Things that last forever, eternally – always – love sent from heaven
To bring our hearts and souls through every condition, every doubt
Through the darkness and the worries, the temptations that shout
The most important thing, the thing that lasts forever is love that shines
Through the darkest places, love that abides because He is alive,
Making intercession for you and I – building a home where we’ll always abide
With Him, the answer to every question, every concern – thanks to Him,
I know that the thing that matters most is the that home up above,
Where He resides in an everlasting love!
