A New and Vast Frontier

Examining my life today -It came as a surprise

To see the things I do and say-Resembling the world's lies

And caught up in this worldly way -Where winning never satisfies

There are strings to pull and games to play -a curse is this world's only prize.

There is more to this life-

There is a better way

More than suffering and strife

More than pleasure and play

There is a better way

A new and Vast frontier

There is a better way

Unexplored and yet so near

For the Saviour is here.

Satisfaction slips away And like a thunderbolt it flies

For all goes down into decay And leaves no memeory when it dies

All's lost within life's shades of grey Darkness affords a fine disguise.

But darkness's chains can never stay the look of haunted hungry eyes.

There is more to this life-

There is a better way

More than suffering and strife

More than pleasure and play

There is a better way

A new and Vast frontier

There is a better way

Unexplored and yet so near

For the Saviour is here.

So if you wonder if life may be more than the time it occupies

And if the price men have to pay exceeds the depths of your supplies

Then raise your heart to heaven and pray to Him who's both lovely and wise

When all on his altar you lay Your life's made new- you shall arise

There is more to this life-

There is a better way

More than suffering and strife

More than pleasure and play

There is a better way

A new and Vast frontier

There is a better way

Unexplored and yet so near

For the Saviour is here.
