| "This Side of Heaven" | |
| This side of heaven Is a temporary place Our eternal home is waiting ‘Till we move in by your grace. It’s so hard this side of heaven Daily struggles do we bear, Still we feel you watching over us Armed with comfort and with care. All we have to do is ask you Though distracted, Lord, are we, So obstructed is our view down here Only conflict do we see. But make us still, make us quiet- Let the scales fall from our eyes. Let us see that this brief time here Is a classroom in disguise. What we suffer here is growing us If we only choose to see, That the lessons of this life on earth Will all make sense if we believe that… You gave your son that we could live We can not understand, But on this side of heaven, Precious Lord, we see Your hand. |
