Eternity Lyrics

Matt Morris Eternity

Yahweh, yahweh
Yahweh, yahweh
Yahweh, yahweh
Through the ages we have lived and died
Kings may walk and sages prophesy
Somewhere between the first creation and tonight
Was a million incarnations of me, myself, and I

I was a savior in another life
With a white robe flowing in the morning light
I walked with the angels in my darkest plight
In the desert for 40 days and 40 nights

I was a tyrant with an angry tongue
Who neglected the old and enslaved the young
It was quiet when I brought the air into my lungs
and sang the very first song ever sung

Carrying... the memory...
of these things... inside of me
I greet them with humility
They're with me for eternity

I'm telling you, with sincerity
That what you do, and what you be
Is go'in follow you, like it follow me
and be with you for eternity

hey hey hey

I was a woman, swollen full with child
I was a healer, shaman in the wild
I was the prosecutor, I was put on trial
I put forth the accusation, I made the denial
I drank the blood of Jesus from a wooden cup
I ate a bit of heaven then I spit it up

I caught my brother lying and I called his bluff
I led the sheep to slaughter once his time was up
Twice I brought the masses down to their knees
One time with love the next time with greed
My childhood aspirations got the best of me
My suicide became the world's destiny

I'm carrying... the memory...
of these things... inside of me
I greet them with humility
They're with me for eternity

I'm telling you, with sincerity
That what you do, and what you be
Is go'in follow you, like it follow me
and be with you for eternity

hey hey hey hey

Yahweh, yahweh
Yahweh, yahweh

I was the man with pointer on the trigger
I pulled the temple down and rebuilt it one finger
I was the first singer
to lullaby the Lord to sleep in the manger,
I was the stranger On the road to Damacus
saying turn your eyes to God
and you shall recieve the answers
Turn your eyes to God and recieve the answers
Turn your eyes to God

Yes I have...

I'm carrying... the memory...
of these things... inside of me
I greet them with humility
They're with me for eternity

I'm telling you, with sincerity
That what you do, and what you be
Is go'in follow you, like it follow me
and be with you for eternity

hey hey hey hey
