Further Up/Further In

Last year, for just one moment You came near as time stood still,
You crushed my wits.
The hairs on my neck all stood stiff,
everything made sense, there was not one rift
in anything I could see.
You were the only thing I could see.
I hear whispers.
Come away, come away, come away my love…
You sound closer.
Come away, come away, come away my love…
Joy weakens me like a wound.
Oh, You’re coming closer and it’s hard to take in that I have wasted so much
fear and devotion.
But there’s no time left for my regrets when You’re calling.
In my dreams we throw all the mountains into the sea.
And there’s no distance left, we all coalesce and sprint across the peaks.
We have no blood to bleed and we need no sun to see.
Time is dead, death has passed,
the past is banished and forgotten.
Long live the King!
I hear whispers.
Come away, come away, come away my love…
You sound closer.
Come away, come away, come away my love…
Joy weakens me like a wound.
Oh, You’re coming closer and it’s hard to take in that I have wasted so much
fear and devotion.
But there’s no time left for my regrets when You’re calling me beloved.
I know that You promised You would make us a home.
You said You’d come soon,
but it’s been so long.
It’s hard to be patient, when I feel You come close.
I must remember that Your ways are different.
You call all times soon.
You call all times soon…
