I saw that love was everlasting.
I saw that her heart was mine.
All came from God above
And pointed to His heavenly sign.

I saw that friendship could never die.
I saw that her eyes were on me.
All was good and well with my soul
And with wings I flew forever free.

I saw that God's grace was eternal.
I saw that His will was forgiving.
All my life was blessed and holy
And we danced in joyous thanksgiving.

I have a life that I could have,
One so blessed and fulfilling,
One long, well, and warm,
Where it is never, ever chilling.

Then it all went wrong.

I thought that love was everlasting.
I thought that her heart was true,
But maybe not all was God's
And maybe His goodness all fell through.

I thought that friendship could never die.
I thought that her eyes had joy,
But maybe she was lost to my soul
And maybe I was no more but a toy.

I thought that God's grace was eternal.
I thought that He was forgiving,
But maybe my life is not all it was
And maybe my happiness is not truly living.

I had a life that I could have,
One so blessed and amazing,
One long, well, and warm,
Where love was always, always blazing.

Then it all went wrong.

I dreamt that love was everlasting.
I dreamt her heart was one I could see,
But there is a love that does end
And there are hearts that do not know me!

I dreamt that friendship could never die.
I dreamt that her eyes were nodding yes,
But there are friends that cannot be
And there are eyes that do not see us!

I dreamt that God's grace was eternal.
I dreamt that all was gay,
But there are lives that never will
And there are sins we cannot wash away!

I dreamt a life that could have been,
One to learn and one to teach,
But there are words we cannot write
And there are heights we'll never reach!

Then I knew the face of God.
