Faraway Land

Faraway Land

When years seem like days to me

No time on my hands

I run away to a place in me

To a faraway land

When home seems so far from me

Heaven’s lights look dim

It’s just as far as my deepest heart

Where my heart’s Father lives

Chorus:

His quiet voice speaking in silence every day

If I will only listen to the words He has to say

I’ll walk in His Spirit, see Him in my face

I will live, ‘cause He will live in my place

When life seems so hard to bear

When shadows look real

The circumstance is your Father’s care

Go by faith not what you feel

If you have been running too

Stop now in your tracks

Turn again to the one in you

Put your burden on His back

Chorus

When years seem like days to me

No time on my hands

I run away to a place in me

To a faraway land
