The Forever Place by Russell Cushman

1) This world’s an eternal sea
O’ downtown parking lots,
A silent Gray Harbor, full o’
Tethered, unmanned yachts.
Of halls with doors all locked,
Cultures gone without a trace.
But my soul’s yearnin,’ searchin’
for belonging; my forever place.

2) This town’s never gonna fit,
Never feel like my home.
Guess I’ll never get used to it,
But I know I’m not alone.
It’s just a testing ground,
You’ve got to run your race.
Each of us has to find
our own forever place.

Chorus: My Forever Place,
My own Forever Place,
When will my heart find rest,
My Soul’s Forever Place.

3) I travelled this ol’ world over,
Lookin’ for my home.
Just wanted some spot on
This earth, I could call my own.
But it was never meant to be,
An eternal wild goose chase.
Then I came to know Jesus
And His Forever Place.

Chorus: My Forever Place,
My own Forever Place,
When he came into my heart,
I found my Forever Place.

4) It’s not on the corner,
Not on the Great Divide.
But He’s prepared it just for you,
If you’re ready for the ride.
Yeah, everybody needs their
Own earthly, personal space.
An’ after we’ve messed it up,
He’s made our Forever Place! Thank God!


Chorus: My Forever Place,
My own Forever Place,
When I walked into His heart,
I found my Forever Place.

5) Jesus walked these lost streets
To gather up His own. He said:
“In my Father’s House
Are many abodes,
I would have told you,
If it were not so.”
Just let go and feel His Grace,
An’ find your own Forever Place!

Chorus: Your Forever Place,
Your own Forever Place,
Walk into His heart,
Into your Forever Place.


6) This world’s an eternal sea
O’ downtown parking lots,
A silent Gray Harbor, full o’
Tethered, unmanned yachts.
But now this doesn’t bother me,
I’m just lookin’ for His face,
Cause now I know my home,
my own Forever Place.

Chorus: My Forever Place,
My own Forever Place,
When I walked into His heart,
I found my Forever Place.
My Forever Place,
My heavenly Forever Place,
Someday we’ll walk into His heart,
An’ find that Forever Place!

Forever Place,
For ever Grace,
For ever and ever place,
Amen.
