A New and Vast Frontier


Examining my life today -It came as a surprise
To see the things I do and say-Resembling the world's lies
And caught up in this worldly way -Where winning never satisfies
There are strings to pull and games to play -a curse is this world's only prize.

 

There is more to this life-
There is a better way
More than suffering and strife
More than pleasure and play
There is a better way
A new and Vast frontier
There is a better way
Unexplored and yet so near
For the Saviour is here

.
Satisfaction slips away And like a thunderbolt it flies
For all goes down into decay And leaves no memeory when it dies
All's lost within life's shades of grey Darkness affords a fine disguise.
But darkness's chains can never stay the look of haunted hungry eyes

.
There is more to this life-
There is a better way
More than suffering and strife
More than pleasure and play
There is a better way
A new and Vast frontier
There is a better way
Unexplored and yet so near
For the Saviour is here.


So if you wonder if life may be more than the time it occupies
And if the price men have to pay exceeds the depths of your supplies
Then raise your heart to heaven and pray to Him who's both lovely and wise
When all on his altar you lay Your life's made new- you shall arise


There is more to this life-
There is a better way
More than suffering and strife
More than pleasure and play
There is a better way
A new and Vast frontier
There is a better way
Unexplored and yet so near
For the Saviour is here.
