Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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
bridge
when I awake I'll see Your face
when I awake I'll see Your face (Revelation 22:4)

Behind the Song:
"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 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." - Kevin Young (Disciple)
