"Now And Not Forever"

This feeling grips me
And I know it isn't guilt
The sting of conviction
My self-made affliction
That's making my heart wilt

I keep on running
Don't know where I'll finally fall
But right now I just wish
That the consequence
Was something I could pre-recall

[chorus]
And I know
That there is something better
But all I see
Is now, and not forever
Would You help me
Give me eyes to see
So I can start to live
Like I believe

I want to change here
But it comes back to the heart
Where my comfort lies
What directs my life
That's where the problem starts

But I get so forgetful
Of the things You've done for me
And this foolish pride
Takes the driver's side
Saying there's still more that I need

[chorus]
And I know
That there is something better
But all I see
Is now, and not forever
Will I outgrow
All these selfish endeavors
Or will I bleed
From what the truth will sever
Would You help me
Give me eyes to see
So I can start to live
Like I believe

[bridge]
I want to live like I believe
What's holding me back?
Holding me back
I want to open my eyes to see
With no turning back
No turning back

Let faith be my sight
I don't need to know
What the future holds
Let Your love be my light
All I need to know
Is You're in control

[chorus]
And I know
That there is something better
But all I see
Is now, and not forever
Would You help me
Give me eyes to see
Give me faith as small
As a mustard seed
So I can start to live
Like I believe

Right now
And into forever
