Time Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only Believers, see His face
Now Christ has shown you, what these end-times mean
His grace calling you to this place
Walls of clear Jasper, new Heaven, new Earth
No need for sunshine, Christ is the light
No evil ever enters, only those who believe
Are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life
In all God’s glory love is pouring from His throne
I’ve just seen Heaven, streets paved with gold
The greatest story that God has ever told
I’ve just seen Heaven, eternal home
In all God’s glory love is pouring from His throne
I’ve just seen Heaven, streets paved with gold
The greatest story that God has ever told
The greatest story that God has ever told
Revelation 21...
The lyrics "Now you can tell me, what your eyes have seen, Only believers, see His face" suggest that the song is about a spiritual experience, specifically one related to the idea of heaven or the afterlife. The mention of believers seeing God's face implies that this experience is exclusive to those who have faith in God. The following lines "Now Christ has shown you, what these end-times mean, His grace calling you to this place" reinforce the belief that this experience is related to the idea of the end times and that it is God's grace that has allowed the listener to witness it.
The next stanza describes the visualization of the afterlife, with walls of clear jasper, a new heaven, and a new earth. The idea of Christ being the light instead of the sun suggests a spiritual rather than physical interpretation of this image. The lyrics "No evil ever enters, only those who believe, Are written in the Lamb's Book of Life" reinforce the idea that this experience is exclusive to believers and that it is the promise of eternal life.
The repetition of the lines "I've just seen Heaven, eternal home, In all God's glory, love is pouring from His throne, Streets paved with gold, The greatest story that God has ever told" reinforces the idea that this experience is the most important thing that the singer has ever witnessed. The mention of God's glory and love suggest that this is a positive and uplifting experience. The track ends with a reference to Revelation 21, the chapter in the Bible that describes the new heaven and new earth.
