Words by Kevin Young / Music by Israel Beachy / All that is behind me, this mess of life / Where out of nothing came a beautiful
design (1 Corinthians 1:26-28) / Know that I’ve had but a taste of a deathless wine (Matthew 26:27-28) / So I give up the flame to the hands beside /
And I’ll be waiting // CHORUS Where the desert is covered in roses (Isaiah 35:1) / Where I can outshine the stars in a single day (1 John 2:25) / The
face of God isn’t hidden (Revelation 22:4) / When I wake into eternity (1 Corinthians 15:51-53) // Where the shadows are never discovered (Revelation
22:5) / Tears are nothing more than a memory (Revelation 21:4) / Death isn’t alive any longer (Revelation 20:14) / When I wake into eternity // Now
I know I see it in your eyes / You knew at some point that we’d have to say goodbye (Hebrews 9:27) / I looked for this moment for all my life / To be
caught away in the arms of God (Philippians 1:23) / And I’ll be waiting // CHORUS // Where you stop is where you'll start again // Where you stop is
where you'll start againWhen I awake I’ll see Your face / When I awake I’ll see Your face (Revelation 22:4) // CHORUS / Death isn't alive in eternity
Several years ago I wrote a song called “Things Left Unsaid.” It was a song about my experience with my grandfather’s unexpected death. The
song tells the story of my sadness and regret for not saying the things I should have said to him while he was alive. The song “Eternity” is written
as if I had had the chance to have that final conversation with my grandfather, and what he would have said back to me. I believe the lyrics of this
song are the words that he would have spoken to me.
