In A Million Years

This is a song I wrote when I was fourteen years old.  One of my first attempts at songwriting, so be gentle!

In A Million Years

Can't He see me? I'm trying to trust Him, but it's so hard.
All this death, Lord. If You love us, then why do we die?
I'm so frightened
When I see the world crashing
Down and down and down.
Tell me, Lord,
If I give myself to You,
Will I live after I die?

In a million years, I'll be alive.
In a million years, my heart will thrive,
And I'll be laughing, dancing, singing,
To the One King of all times.
In a million years, I'll see the day.
In a million years, I will still pray.
And He will love me,
And He will care,
And I'll be laughing.

I feel His peace when others start to cry.
I know He'll care for me.
I know I'm not alone.  I simply smile
When I see my world crashing
Down and down and down.
I know I've got it.
I will live. I will live and never die.

In a million years, I'll be alive.
In a million years, my heart will thrive,
And I'll be laughing, dancing, singing
To the One King of all times.
In a million years, I'll see the day.
In a million years, I will still pray.
And He'll still love me.
And He'll still care.
And I'll be dancing.

I don't know everything God has planned for me.
How can I, really?
I'm a person and God is God.
So let's keep living
Until the world comes crashing
Down and down and down.
I know the Lord would never let me die.
He holds me tight within His heart.

In a million years, I'll be alive.
In a million years, my heart will thrive.
And I'll be laughing, dancing, singing
To the One King of all times.
In a million years, I'll see the day.
In a million years, I will still pray.
And I will love Him.
And I will care.
And I'll be singing.

How can this be that He set me free?
That I am alive for the One who created me?

In a million years, I'll be alive.
In a million years, my heart will thrive.
And I'll be laughing, dancing, singing
To the One King of all times.
In a million years, I'll see the day.
In a million years, I will still pray.
And I'll be happy.
And I will live.
And I'll be praising.

Illuminate

I want to change the world for You.
I want to scream Your Name,
Until the earth falls to its knees,
Until all can see Your grace.

I want to make an impact, Lord.
Do not let me turn from You.
My actions have not fully changed,
But my passion is for you.

I want to see revival, God,
Nations bowing down in praise.
I long to see them look to You.
Lord, reveal to them Your face.

I want to change the world for you,
But only You can change my heart
Light a fire within my life,
And illuminate the dark.
