Story behind the song
Nothing fancy here. The phrase comes the "Hail Mary," and I expanded on the thought of what it actually might be like at the moment of our death. My favorite lyric I've ever written lies in this song -- "The broken shackles of humanity cannot compare to what lies ahead." Jim Moran is actually responsible for the "Na Na" melody. He had that in his head for a long time but never really had anywhere to put it. It seemed like a natural fit in this song to me as the choir of angels in heaven beckoning us to join them while at the same point giving a sense of uncertainty as we leave the world we've known all our lives.
Lyrics
Time stands still from where I lay I feel my life slippin’ away The Holy Spirit breathes into me, O Lord My bruised and battered soul is set free In communion with all the angels and saints I feel the Raw and Pure Energy I feel the overwhelming desire, O Lord Your hands lift me higher and higher It’s only now that I realize I see eternity in Your eyes I’ve never been, but I feel like I’ve been here before And into Heaven my soul soars I think of all I did with my life All the blessings, all of the gifts All the sorrow, and all of the pain But I pressed on, my love never strayed My prayers are answered, my debt is paid The broken shackles of humanity Cannot compare to what lies ahead -- And I heard the word He said Oh God above, take my life, take my life up to heaven above, Alleluia, alleluia. I lay myself down at Your throne and offer up all of my heart, All of my soul, all of my praises.
