The Land of Endless Day

There are so many good and sensible reasons to reject the hand of Christ. Mine had to do with not wanting to give up the things I thought meant something. There's only room on the throne of this heart for one king, and I wanted to be king of my life. Just me. But what I discovered from the empty hotel room I chose was that nothing has any real and lasting life apart from the source of life - and I knew that it wasn't me who made the flowers bloom or the seas tide. 

The world offers momentary pleasure. But the high wears off and you're left constantly wanting more - which the world will gladly sell you in exchange for an ever increasing portion of your day. But at the end of days, "why in the world would you wait when the world offers nothing at all?"

Lyrics: Tim Henderson & Jeff Kreh

Why in the world would you wait

when the world offers nothing at all?

Jesus calls from the home He's prepared by His grace

singing, “why in the world would you wait?”

Come if your heart you would change

to accept His most basic command

and a land can be yours where there's never a pain

only come if your heart can be changed

Chorus:

We'll exchange our cross for a golden crown

where the gates swing outward never

and we'll sing the song of heaven's praise

in the land of endless day

If you would call on His name

just, to know you've been washed in the blood

how He'd love you to see what it means to believe

only, why in the world would you wait?

tell me, why in the world do you wait?

Chorus
