In the blink of an eye it will all be over
This rollercoaster ride that goes higher and lower
Each time it goes ‘round our stomachs do flops
We’re high on the hills but we hate when it drops
And just when we think that it might finally end
The darned thing revs up and we begin to ascend
Oh, Lord, do tell, for You are all-knowing
Will this craziness end when we begin slowing?
Or will You shut it all down only when we start calling
Screaming Your name in the middle of falling?
It’s hard not to know what’s coming up next
We’re racking our brains but left quite perplexed
We’re prepared for the bends for what surprises await
But we’re tired and weak and in a vulnerable state
It’s tough to hang on when our belts are all worn
As resistance gets stronger they become torn
Will you press the stop button just when they break
And catch us mid air, is that when you’ll take?
Our Father You are we are singing your song
And we hope and we pray that You wont be too long
So around every corner and down every hill
We will strengthen our belts, hanging on for you still
We will brace and endure these tracks through the night
For Your Son did provide for our soul its own light
Brightly we’ll shine as we are whipped all around
We’ll brighten the night and spread love abound
And when the morning does come and another day starts
We’ll continue this ride with wide open hearts
We’ll fight till the end for Jesus we’ll stay
We’ve surrendered it all to You and Your way
But until that great day, Lord, keep us all strong
So we can live for you Glory leading others who belong
We’ll see You one day in the blink of an eye
And rejoice as Your Kingdom when we meet in the sky
All For Your Glory!
