Song Lyrics

"Eternity In Our Hearts"

by Carolyn Arends
Album: Travelers

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
