I used to count the days ‘Til I was gonna fly away All I wanted was the promise That You’d take away my pain Won’t You take away my pain?
I didn’t want to be used to engage I didn’t want to use you to be my escape But then You taught me how to pray Yes You taught me how to pray

Let Your kingdom come here in my heart Let me be the place where Heaven starts Open up the gates that blind my eyes You’re making me paradise

Heaven is now I got eternal life living inside me Heaven is now Let Your Spirit bring it down I got eternal life living inside me

I don’t want to wait Until I see those Pearly gates Let me bring Your grace Into this world and recreate Not gonna wash my hands And say let it burn I want to burn with Your love instead

I want to bring Heaven everywhere I go Walk my city streets like they’re all paved with gold See my savior’s face in every stranger’s eyes You brought Heaven here so I’m not waiting ‘til I die

It’s here when we learn to love When we’re forgiving one another We’re getting glimpses everyday
