Time passes my eyes
I see the world grow dimmer
A darkness in the skies
My light fades to a glimmer

When will we walk,
On the streets of gold you promised?
When will we talk,
To our savior, my sweet Jesus?

I could cry a thousand tears,
Just to see what we have become
I would wait a million years,
To find the love of the only one

So fly away with me,
In the hands of our salvation.
It's so good to be free,
From the hands of persecution.

I will not live another day until,
You see Jesus is the way
His arms are open now,
So just let it go

The newbirth shines so bright,
A spectacle in purity
We walk into the light,
I feel your presence next to me

Heaven seems to far,
But I know it's waiting for us
A mansion full of rooms,
That will never fill forver

I can close my eyes,
And feel your power all around me
I won't be surprised,
When you come down in all your glory

So fly away with me,
In the hands of our salvation.
It's so good to be free,
From the hands of persecution.

I will not live another day until,
You see Jesus is the way
His arms are open now,
His arms are open now,
His arms are open now,
So just let it go
