CHORUS

He has placed in our hearts eternity

That part of us that looks beyond what we see

And the void in our souls

Only He can make whole

For in our hearts He has placed eternity.

There you go ‘round in circles again

There you go only grasping at wind

Though you’ve traveled the world and been here and been there

Somehow your life just won’t go anywhere.

When, oh when will you be satisfied?

Why, oh, why are you empty inside?

There you sit with the gain which you sought

Though sometimes asking, “Was it for nought?”

There you sit with your knowledge and books so well read

But late at night you still cry on your bed

When, oh when will you be satisfied?

Why, oh, why are you empty inside?

There’s Someone who’ll give you a new start

There’s Someone who’ll bring joy to your heart

Turn to Jesus the Savior and He’ll give you peace

He’ll give you rest and your running will cease

Why, oh, why did Christ suffer and die?

It was for you, child to be filled inside.

FINAL CHORUS

He has placed in our hearts eternity

That part of us that looks beyond what we see

And now joy floods my soul

Since My Lord made me whole

And He’ll live in my heart for eternity.
