Long or Short, Heaven Awaits Lyrics

I pray for your life

I pray for long life

To see each dawn

To walk in your light

From dusk till morn

But if my days are few, Lord, hear my plea

Let my heart be ready for eternity

Long or short, Lord, guide my way

May I not miss heaven on judgment day

Give me strength, give me grace

To run with patience in this holy race

Each step I take, may it be in your will

Through every valley, up every hill

And if my time comes sooner than planned

Lord, show me mercy and hold my hand

Long or short, Lord, guide my way

May I not miss heaven on judgment day

Give me strength, give me grace

To run with patience in this holy race

Your mercy, Lord, is what I seek

In my moments strong, in my moments weak

A regular year or just a few

May I live them all faithful and true

Long or short, Lord, guide my way

May I not miss heaven on judgment day

Give me strength, give me grace

To run with patience in this holy race

So I trust in you for every breath

Whether life is long or ends in death

In your hands, my future lies

Grant me heaven when I close my eyes
