Then

Then

(To Our Leaders)

I can not judge your life or what you do.

that power stands with God who looks on you.

I know that you don't fully understand,

that I must follow God, not after man.

And all you see here now one day will pass.

The heart within the clock is ticking fast.

A heart that measures time as cold as ice, 

and steals from us each second as a price.

And when you are no more where will you be?

And will the soul inside you be set free?

And will you find what you were looking for?

And will you find your way inside God's door?

And just what will you see as you pass through?

And will the choirs of angels be with you?

And will you hear the voices you hold dear?

And will you feel the love of God draw near?

And as you pass along upon that day,

the ones you hurt may be along the way.

And will you bear that extra weight alone?

And will He hear you call from His great throne?

And when you finally reach that entry gate,

a million tiny souls will lie in wait.

And as your judgement fell upon them then,

your judgement comes to you as yours to them.

That pill will not block life without a scar,

in her God put life's ocean in a jar.

God's life, between one woman and one man,

you can not keep the ocean from the sand.

I can not judge your life or what you do.

that power stands with God who looks on you.

I  am not perfect, I know this is true,

but I must follow God, not after you.
