I’ve given some ~ I’ve given all ~
I’ve pushed away and held some near ~
I’ve drunk the bitter cup of gall ~
I’ve cast away the thought of fear ~
I’ve loved a week and loved for years ~
But, the true st love I’ve ever known,
that healed all pain and dried all tears,
was One I found on Heaven’s throne.

I’ve jumped the gun and broke the stall ~
I’ve sailed through storms till all was clear ~
I’ve swam the length and played hard ball ~
I’ve broke the ropes and learned to steer ~
I’ve played in faith and run in fear ~
But, the fairest game I’ve ever known,
the race that won the biggest cheer,
was One I found on Heaven’s throne.

I’ve known musicians great and small ~
I’ve felt the lust and heard the cheers ~
I’ve seen some rise and watched some fall ~
I’ve laughed with some and shared some tears ~
I’ve filled our days with wine and beer ~
But, the sweetest song I’ve ever known,
the one I long the most to hear,
was One I found on Heaven’s throne.

If I could write a thousand years
and reap the wheat my words have sown,
the Word that calmed my deepest fears
was One I found on Heaven’s throne.
