More To This Life

Today I watched in silence as people passed me by,

And I strained to see if there was something hidden in their eyes;

But they all looked at me as if to say

Life just goes on.

The old familiar story told in different ways,

Make the most of your own journey from the cradle to the grave;

Dream your dreams tomorrow because today

Life must go on.

But there's more to this life than living and dying,

More than just trying to make it through the day;

More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see,

And there's more than this life alone can be.

He takes care of his family, he takes care of his work,

And every Sunday morning he takes his place at the church;

And somehow he still feels a need to search,

But life just goes on.

Tonight he lies in silence staring into space,

And looks for ways to make tomorrow better than today,

But in the morning light it looks the same;

Life just goes on.

But there's more to this life than living and dying,

More than just trying to make it through the day;

More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see,

And there's more than this life alone can be.

So where do we start to find every part

Of what makes this life complete;

If we turn our eyes to Jesus we'll find

Life's true beginning is there at the cross where He died.

He died to bring us . . .

But there's more to this life than living and dying,

More than just trying to make it through the day;

More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see,

And there's more than this life alone can be.
