LATER THAN IT SEEMS


Copyright 2/4/06 Lyrics by Steven C. Cunningham, Music by Lorne Porta, Sacred Thunder Music (ASCAP)

 


V1
It’s getting late; I find it hard to focus

On the things that really matter in the end

As I think in all directions my eyes wander for a while

 My tested will tries hard not to pretend

V2
Wherever I am going, sure beats where I have been

I let Your love direct me on my way

Thinking of the future, tried to get there on my own

Each step the hill I’m climbing day by day

CH
It’s later than it seems and time keeps passing

In the end we’ll walk the final road alone

Who knows the day or hour, we’re called beyond this place

Don’t lose the chance to be where you belong

V3
The world we’ve created leads us farther from the Truth

We think we’ve figured out what wins the race

Blessings that we forfeit, our hearts have gone astray

Inside our minds are really a disgrace

V4
Precious Father, please forgive us for neglecting all Your grace

The gift of life so freely that You give

Change my life to be more like You, Your love I want to show

My life that still remains, for You I’ll live . . .
