LET ME DWELL IN ETERNITY TODAY

(Anyone know how to reach Emmy Lou Harris? I think she'd like it!)


It’s another precious morning, another rainbow dawn
There’s a peaceful song arising -- let me keep that music strong
May there be no creeping shadows, in your Light please let me stay
Let me dwell in Eternity today.

(Chorus 1)
Give me strength in my footsteps, give me wisdom in my words
Give me kindness and love in all I say
Oh, keep me from the dangers of the mind that knows no Light
Let me dwell in Eternity today.

Now I know there’ll be times when the pain will get too strong
And that fire will burn me to the bone
And when I cry out for mercy and the strength to see me through
Hold me close, let me know I’m not alone.

(Chorus 2)
Give me solace, give me comfort, give me hope and give me joy
May I choose to give thanks for every idol you destroy
And if you should see me crying, remind me there’s another way
May I dwell in Eternity today.

And when I’m looking for that someone to be a partner on the road
A friend for the journey of my soul
Won’t you keep my eyes wide open, let your light protect my heart
Keep me here, keep my clear, and keep me whole.

(Chorus 3)
Give me peace from my desires, give me peace from all I crave
Let your Light be all I hope for come what may
Let my longing be only for the Peace that frees my soul
Let me dwell in Eternity today.

Oh, may I keep remembering you with a prayer that never ends
With every step, every breath along the way
May each hour of the day be a time I choose to pray
May I dwell in Eternity today.

(repeat Chorus 1)
Give me strength in my footsteps, give me wisdom in my words
Give me kindness and love in all I say
Oh, keep me from the dangers of the mind that knows no Light
Let me dwell in Eternity today.
