I know I'm getting on in years
Not many mornings left to go
I don't take any day for granted
Each is a precious gift, I know

But when another falls to shadows
It's time to grieve with those they've known
This plague has made it even harder
We bear our sadness so alone!

Chorus:
For Paradise awaits
All who sleep in You
One day we all will wake
Remade and named anew
But now we mourn,
So give us, Lord,
A chance to laugh and cry
To gather with Your people
And simply say goodbye

When our time on Earth is over, and we say goodbye to this life
We'll wake up to meet our Maker and receive our reward
In an instant of perfect vision, we'll see where we wasted our time
In all that we built without waiting on the Lord

Chorus:
Everything falls, everything fails
Except for the One whom the angels hail, crying...
Glory, glory, hallelujah
The Lord in heaven is laughing
The plans of the politicians are visions in vain
Don't put your hope in the things that won't last
Build on the One who is worthy, singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
