Beginning of the End

The time has come
 And as I reach up to the sky
 The love will never die
 At last it's here
 The darkest sky begins to clear
 The final hour draws near
 But the voices are calling me
 Erasing the pain and the fear
 So lay me down
 Lay me to rest
 It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning
 Of the end
 ♪
 And so we'll rise
 By the grace of God alone
 His words carved in stone
 I'm never gone
 I'll always be within your heart
 Waiting's the worst part
 Now the voices are calling me
 Soothing me and easing the pain and the fear
 So lay me down
 Lay me to rest
 It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning
 Of the end
 ♪
 And I see my life pass quickly by
 I am watching
 All these years we thought we were so wise
 They mean nothing
 Walk alone into the dying mist
 Come alive forever
 See the things we've never seen before
 Hand in hand together
 ♪
 The falling rays
 Are lightning up the open door
 We've all been waiting for
 Well, the voices are calling me
 Showing the path that is clear
 So lay me down
 Lay me to rest
 It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning
 So lay me down (lay me down)
 Lay me to rest (lay me to rest)
 It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning (the beginning)
 Of the end
