Another Time Another Place
Amber Nelon Thompson Lyrics

I've always heard there is a land
I have been told that there is a place

Beyond the mortal dreams of man
That is beyond the imagination of human beings

Where every tear will be left behind
A place where sadness and sorrow don't exist

But it must be in another time
But it can only be in a different period

There'll be an everlasting light
There will be a never-ending brightness

Shining a purest holy white
Radiating a cleanly religious hue

And every fear will be erased
All fear will be eliminated

But it must be in another place
Yet, it can only be in a different location

So, I'm waiting for another time and another place
Thus, I am anticipating a different moment and location

Where all my hopes and dreams will be captured
I will achieve all my longings and aspirations

With one look at Jesus' face
Through a single glance at the face of Jesus

Oh, my heart's been burnin'
My passion has been intense

My soul keeps yearnin'
My soul feels an intense desire for something

Sometimes I can't hardly wait
At times, I can barely contain my impatience

For that sweet, sweet someday
For the upcoming beautiful and perfect day

When I'll be swept away
When I'll be carried off

To another time and another place
To a different period and context

I've grown so tired of earthly things
I am exhausted from earthly possessions

They promise peace but furnish pain
They claim to offer peace but cause agony

All of life's sweetest joys combined
Even the most satisfying pleasures of life

Could never match those in another time
Can't equal those in another period

And though I've put my trust in Christ
Although I've placed my faith in Christ

And felt His Spirit move in my life
And experienced his spirit acting in my life

I know it's truly just a taste
I comprehend that it's only a brief moment

Of His glory in another place
Of his splendor in a different location
