It's the change in the air when things look the same
The thrill of the adventure that we've yet to chase
Like the scent of rain before the drops appear
It's the promise of love we hear.
It's the heat of the sun on a frozen, winter day
Or the glory of our youth we try to recreate
Like the trees in the forest and the sounds they make
It's the river of life that we taste.

Veiled by our humanness, that heavenly scene,
Distorted by our sin and our suffering
Your majesty revealed for eternity,
On that Day when You return.
Take us away to that holy place,
Where love is law and all doubt erased
When we finally lose these chains that bind us here
Come Lord Jesus, we long to be there.

It's the still of the night that cannot be ignored
Only the truly broken hearted that can be restored
Like a wave in the ocean rollin' toward the shore
It's the peace of the Spirit we long for.
It's the calm through the storm of life's wind and rain
It's the hand of an angel we hope to embrace
Like the scars from the wounds forever on display
The love of our savior will never fade away!

Veiled by our humanness, that heavenly scene,
Distorted by our sin and our suffering
Your majesty revealed for eternity,
On that Day when You return.
~~~
Take us away to that holy place,
Where love is law and all doubt erased
When we finally lose these chains that bind us here.
Come Jesus,
Take us away to that holy place,
Where love is law and all doubt erased
When we finally lose these chains that bind us here.
We long to be there - wholly Yours,
We long to be there.
Come Lord Jesus, we long to be there.
