Father's House - Eternity Lyrics

On the way to work one day
On a cold and rainy morn
Little sleep last night
Left him weary and worn
He crossed into the other lane
And it took his life away
He passed into Eternity
So suddenly that day
The faces passed before him
Those he knew and loved
The hands he held
The smiles he shared
He had to let them go
Forever is today
Not at the end of a rainbow
It's not a distant kind of thing
Not a place that's far away
There's room for us all
At the end of the day
An echo from beyond
It's all so very real in Eternity
She didn't want to go there
None ever do
I just couldn't care for her alone
So I did what I had to do
The nursing home became a place
To count our final days
In a lonely and forgotten world
Where no one ever came
And when the time drew near
We gathered by her side
Singing, praying, whispering
Something in her ear
Forever is today
Not at the end of a rainbow
It's not a distant kind of thing
Not a place that's far away
There's room for us all
At the end of the day
An echo from beyond
Standing at the door in Eternity
There's a house on a hill
No so far away
God said that is was so
And I pray you choose to go
Holding on to holy hands
With nothing left to fear
Trust the Lord to carry you
Through the open door in Eternity
Forever is today
Not at the end of a rainbow
It's not a distant kind of thing
Not a place that's far away
There's room for us all
At the end of the day
An echo from beyond
Everyone is here in Eternity
