Eternity

I met you the day you were born
And God knows I can't stand it
I took those days for granted
I wish I knew you more

And I knew that we would someday grow up
And time would run out then
But we used to be my friend
In brotherly love?

Ooh, the Lord gave you something special
So don't you hide behind an excuse
What do you have to lose?

You're a melody in my heart on an autumn day
A memory in the dark when it's pouring rain
A smile that reminds me of God in the fallen place we're in
For eternity, I'll call you friend

I pray that you find a God-fearing man
And I trust that you will always keep
Jesus in your fault days
'Cause He died for your sin

And I can't wait to see it in the sky
Flying to our home there
Have confidence in Christ
Where He lives deep inside

'Cause God gave you something special
So don't you hide behind an excuse
What do you have to lose?

You're a melody in my heart on an autumn day
A memory in the dark when it's pouring rain
A smile that reminds me of God in the fallen place we're in
For eternity, I'll call you friend

Call on Him, call on Him, friend
Call on Him 'cause your life depends on it
When your dreams fade on the 21st of October
It ain't all over, God holds His precious daughter

You're a melody in my heart on an autumn day
A memory in the dark when it's pouring rain
A smile that reminds me of God in the fallen place we're in

Know that you are never alone on this weary road
December will come but the lining is silver as snow
The anchor is Christ when it's cold to the bitter bone
To the end and again, for eternity I'll call you friend

Oh, I'll call you
Oh, Melody Ann
For eternity, I'll call you friend
