What lies beyond the faith we see

            Past trusting for these days

Past living now with heaven in view

            And past religions' ways?

If God exists eternally and

            And everywhere we go

Then all is now and all is here

            And heaven is what we know.

What difference does that make in how

            We live our lives today

With heaven right here and heaven right now

            And God our present stay?

Whatever dreams of heaven we hold

            Are here and now to view

The peace, compassion, love we crave

            They're our shared work to do.

The life we seek beyond our sight

            Takes faith to choose to see

That God indwells in each human life

            Heaven lives in you and me.
