This World Is Not Your Home - Farther Away Than the Stars, Ep. 24

I have a Love Who’s far away,
Far away, far away;
I have a Love Who’s far away,
Farther away than the stars.

And yet, She’s stolen my heart away,
Heart away! heart away;
And yet, She’s stolen my heart away,
Farther away than the stars.

Keep me not bound, no! teach me to fly,
Far from earth’s madness—free ere I die!
Keep me not bound here, teach me to fly,
Farther away than the stars.

There’s nothing here nearly so dear,
Nearly so dear, nearly so dear.
There’s nothing here nearly so dear
As Her laughter away in the stars.

“God, though ‘nearer than our nearest thoughts,’ Is yet far from earthly ways of thinking. ‘My ways are not thy ways,’ saith the Lord.”
