This Is Not Forever Songtext
von Sarah Hart

Should I sow just to see the fruits uprooted,
Still I′d plant again with each new spring.
Should I build and see it fall like Jericho,
I'll praise you in the ruinings.
For there is more than breaking and mending,
Time alone will tell the happy ending.
This is not forever.


Should I walk then stumble on what wounds me,
I will weep a while, then I will lift my head.
And should I speak just to feel my tongue go quiet,
I will listen for your voice instead.
For there is more than faltering and silence;
Mystery is singing through what binds us.
This is not forever.
This is not forever.

Will be beautiful in time again.
All that is will pass away
And we shall live.

When I die, I′ll fly above the blue
And thank you for the proving ground below.
But while I breathe, heaven help me love here
In the places you would bid me go.
I will walk through mercy's refining,
Until the day I see the silver lining.
This is not forever.
This is not forever.
