Give me one million problems and I promise
I'll worry about them all
Give me twenty-four hours and I promise
I'll fill them up with all the things that are so small
But something tells me You made me for so much more
[CHORUS]
I'm holding all of my life up to the light
The light of eternity I know what I should let go
I see what matters most in the light of eternity
I want You to see me shine in the light of eternity
This is one of those moments when
I'm weighing all my days up to right here and right now
Am I doing anything that will last?
And if I'm not, then I just have to ask
Please show me how
'Cause I know You made me for so much more
A new illumination changes everything, changes everything
And now my motivation is eternity with You
Give me twenty-four hours and
I promise I'm gonna give 'em all back to You
