Time and Eternity (Milele Mioyoni) | Africa Sings for Jesus Choir (ASFJ)

Описание: "Africa Sings for Jesus Choir" — a virtual African Christian youth choir from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia.
Joyful worship, African gospel rhythms, sincere purity and passionate praise.

🔴 ABOUT THE SONG:
Based on Ecclesiastes 3, this song reminds us of a profound biblical truth: life is a changing of seasons. We cannot stop time, but God has placed "Eternity" in the human heart. That is why we always long for something more than this earth can offer. Our thirst for the eternal proves that we are made for Him.
Adapted from the original song by SoulScript Worship.

"Milele Mioyoni" means "Eternity in the Hearts" in Swahili.

📜 LYRICS:

[Intro]
(Spoken): There is a time for everything...
(Choir): Milele...

[Verse 1]
A time to build up, a time to tear down
A time to be silent, a time for a sound
We cannot stop the seasons from turning around
We don't make the rules for the sky and the ground
We fight with the wind and the cold winter snow
And the heart gets tired of running, I know
But Wisdom is not making time stand still
But walking with God in the center of His will

[Chorus]
For God has placed Eternity inside our hearts!
(Milele Mioyoni!) That is why we need Him!
This earth is too small for the spirit within
We hunger for more than the world has been
The breath of the Father is living in us
A holy desire, a heavenly trust!
This ocean so deep, this thirst in the soul
Only You, Lord, can make us whole!

[Verse 2]
The works of the Lord do not fade with the years
We cannot add to them, we have no fears
Whatever He does will remain evermore
The world is safe in His hand, that is sure
Death is not a period, death is not the end
The soul knows the way to the House of the Friend
This earth is a shadow, a temporary place
We are made to live in the Light of His face!

[Bridge]
(Call): God will judge!
(Response): The time will come!
(Call): Justice will shine!
(Response): Brighter than the sun!
(All): Don't fear the winter, don't be afraid
There is no chaos in the plans He has made!
He knows your path!
He knows your time!

[Chorus]
For God has placed Eternity inside our hearts!
(Milele Mioyoni!) That is why we need Him!
This earth is too small for the spirit within
We hunger for more than the world has been
The breath of the Father is living in us
A holy desire, a heavenly trust!
This ocean so deep, this thirst in the soul
Only You, Lord, can make us whole!

[Outro]
We are people of Eternity...
Locked inside of time.
But God is waiting.
Milele.
