THIS I KNOW IS TRUE
THE JOURNEY HEAVENWARD

MUSIC AND LYRICS
BY
PETER LINK

IN THE END
WHAT IS MAN
JUST A POUND OF CLAY
BREAK THAT DOWN
NOTHING’S THERE
MUCH TO OUR DISMAY

I’VE BEEN TOLD
LIFE’S A DREAM
JUST LIKE DREAMS AT NIGHT
IT’S NOT ALL
AS IT SEEMS
MAYBE ALL THAT IS IS LIGHT

QUANTUM PHYSICS FINDS
THAT IT’S ALL JUST MADE OF WAVES
EINSTEIN TELLS US TIME ISN’T REAL
HOW DOES IT FEEL
KNOWING THAT NOTHING’S AS IT SEEMS

PEOPLE COME
PEOPLE GO
YEAH BUT ARE THEY REALLY GONE
WHERE THEY GO
HEAVEN KNOWS
MAYBE LIFE GOES ON AND ON

GOD MAKES MIRACLES BY THE MILLIONS EVERY DAY
A MAN NAMED JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD
THOUSANDS WERE FED
STARTING WITH NOTHING
NOTHING BUT GOD

FRAGILE STUFF
MATTER IS
FLEETING THROUGH AND THROUGH
ONE THING’S CLEAR
I AM HERE
THIS I KNOW IS TRUE
THIS I KNOW IS TRUE
THIS I KNOW IS TRUE

AND AS I GROW AND KNOW THEE
THE “MAYBES” DISAPPEAR
THE CERTAINTIES ARE CLEARER
THE MORE THAT GOD IS NEAR
THE CLOSER I CAN GET TO THEE
THE MORE I UNDERSTAND

THE MORE I UNDERSTAND
THE BETTER MAN I AM
THE BETTER MAN I AM
THE MORE I LIVE IN YOU
THE MORE I LIVE IN YOU
THE MORE I AM

AND ON AND ON IT GOES LIKE THIS
TILL TIME AND SPACE ARE THROUGH
AND ALL THE THINGS I KNEW
NO LONGER MATTER
AND ALL THE THINGS I THOUGHT I WAS
NO LONGER TRUE

I CLIMB WITH JOY THE HEIGHTS OF MIND
TO SOAR O’ER TIME AND SPACE
I YET SHALL KNOW AS I AM KNOWN
AND SEE THEE FACE TO FACE
TILL TIME AND SPACE AND FEAR ARE NAUGHT
MY QUEST SHALL NEVER CEASE
THY PRESENCE EVER GOES WITH ME
AND THOU DOST GIVE ME PEACE
