Forever Is a Long Time

Today I read in a book that some are meant to live forever There's also a nightmare where our dying has no end If I let my will surrender And my flesh be crucified In his name my sins will be sublime. Chorus: Forever is a long, long time. It's said love is a gift that's given if we're true believers Just make your body and your soul his receivers In this world those golden rules May seem like they're made for fools Puppets on a string that blessing can bring. Chorus: Forever is a long, long time. But now the wine has turned sour after all these years of fighting So many wars but still his kingdom is not striking Pray for your enemy And love without agony Always ready for his day to come. Chorus: Forever is a long, long time.
