lyrics

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

In days now gone I remember when
I used to run o’er hill and glen
Dwelling there I’d dream awhile
Of the future ahead it would make me smile

I could escape had no worried thoughts
The future full of shoulds and oughts
Then back again to reality
But at least I knew that I was free

CHORUS:
How ever much we look to the future
Or look at the present or past
We know one thing, that our lives will grow and change
But when we look beyond ourselves to Jesus
When our hearts and minds, on him, we cast
We recognise that he has remained
And will always remain the same.

In days now here so much has changed
My life’s become so rearranged
More focussed now on what’s right and wrong
Is the dream on hold? Is the dream now gone?

BRIDGE
I’ve heard it said hope springs eternal
Inside my mind set on the internal
The workings of a seeking heart
And I know that He must play His part

In days to come I will seek His face
I will partake in His amazing grace
He’ll come to me and accept my prayer
I will go to be with Him up there

And so till then I will learn and grow
I’ll reach the end there I will know
I’ll put away the present and past
For the days to come won’t be my last

CHORUS:

And so till then……
