Last Notes

Shaun Groves


There is a part of me 
That's only visiting 
Torn from eternity 
A stranger here 
The awkward mingling of 
The loveless and beloved 
So far from things above 
While I am here

Chorus 
So when the last notes of my 
Soul's summer symphony 
Go stealing through this old world's 
Cold garden gates 
I will hold no fear 

As You close my book of hours 
And the hands of heaven carry me 
Carry me home to stay
O Death where is your sting 
Your tears and tremblings 
His peace is lingering 

Even now
O Grave the battle's fought 
Your vict'ry has been lost 
To Christ who gave it all 
To take me now

O Grave the battle's fought 
Your vict'ry has been lost 
To Christ who gave it all 
To take me home
