It will be
The last time
Pain courses through my veins
Despair drags down my soul
Grief rips apart my heart

It will be
The last time
Fear chains my mind
Anger fuels my words
Doubt shakes my faith

It will be
The last time
Shame washes over me
Guilt hinders my progress
Disobedience robs my freedom

On that day
When I step over the threshold into eternity
It will be the last time
I'm broken, beaten, and baffled.

Every tear, You'll wipe away
Every sorrow, You'll make okay

So I'm waiting, Lord
With hope in my heart
For the day it will be
The last time!
