Forever Is a Long Time

Today I read in a book that some are meant to live forever
 There's also a nightmare where our dying has no end
 If I let my will surrender and my flesh be crucified
 In his name my sins will be sublime
 Forever is a long long time
 ♪
 It's said love is a gift that's given if we're true believers
 Just make your body and your soul his receivers
 In this world those golden rules
 May seem like they're made for fools
 Puppets on a string that blessing can bring
 Forever is a long long time
 Forever is a long long time
 ♪
 But now the wine has turned sour after all these years of fighting
 So many wars but still his kingdom is not striking
 Pray for your enemy
 And love without agony
 Always ready for his day to come
 Forever is a long long time
 Forever is a long time
