we all know / and believe / there's more than what we see / eternity is deep inside our hearts // so we watch and wait / until that day / when in a flash / this world will pass away / heaven and earth will kiss each other // the sun will rise and light a brand new day / every knee will bow unto Your name / all the saints will shout and sing Your Glory / as a matter of fact / it's a matter of faith // new clothes, new names / every tear drop is wiped away / fears gone love and peace remain / from the east to the west / the sky splits wide / in the blink of an eye / our two worlds collide / heaven and earth have kissed each other // so even when it seems so long to watch and wait / still our hearts are full of yearning for that day / and even in the dead of night we walk by faith / Lord, we stand upon the promise that You made

Behind the Song:
'This song is really about belief. What we believe. Plain and simple. “We’re seeing a great uprising of unbelief,” Peter says. “Everyone has an opinion, many without a foundation. We’ve got a whole culture hearing different ideas opposed to God. Many are not sure what they believe, so they’ll end up believing anything. Some just want to believe what best suits their wants. Without faith, it’s impossible to know the one who has the facts: God.”' - Melissa Riddle Chalos
