The Overlap

I've been searching for a city

One not built by the hands of man

And I've been looking for a country

A better place that I can call home

I've been longing for a kingdom

One I know is sure to come

When the rider on the white horse

Comes again for His chosen ones

Like a stranger in a strange land

I know I'm only passing through

It's so hard not to put my roots down, I'm trying to fix my eyes on You

The pleasures of this world may tempt me

But I've tasted something new

Like a pilgrim I will journey, I know I've set my hope on You

I'm living in the overlap, I'm living in the balance

Between what is and is to come

I'm living in freedom, but I'm caught in a tension

Between now and the age to come

I don't want silver, don't want gold

Or all the riches in this world

Oh lover of my soul

In You are faithfulness and truth

And all I need is found in You
