Lyrics

Verse 1

Soon this road will find its ending And I'll step beyond the veil I will see the one who loved me Whose mercy never failed I will fall before his glory With grateful tear-filled eyes And thank him for the cross he bore for my eternal life

Chorus

In ten thousand years, we'll just be starting Ten thousand years, and still amazed, we'll sing his grace Forever grateful, lost in wonder, love, and praise Time will fade, but joy will never Heaven's song will still remain After ten thousand years of glory We'll still be blessing Jesus' name

Verse 2

There will be no pain or sorrow No more burdens left to bear Every tear will be forgotten In the light of heaven's air Saints of old will gather round him Stories of his faithfulness And every voice will join the anthem Of redeeming righteousness

Chorus

In ten thousand years, we'll just be starting Ten thousand years, and still amazed, we'll sing his grace Forever grateful, lost in wonder, love, and praise Time will fade, but joy will never Heaven's song will still remain After ten thousand years of glory We'll still be blessing Jesus' name

Bridge

A million lifetimes won't be long enough to thank him for the cross Forever we will testify of mercy's endless cost

Chorus

Ten thousand years, we'll just be starting Ten thousand years, and still amazed, we'll sing his grace

Outro

Through endless ages, holy, holy be his name No end in sight, no fading glory, love that never will grow old After ten thousand years of worship, we'll have countless more to go Ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, and still amazed

Behind the song

Our lives on earth are short. But the Bible tells us that when we step beyond the veil, our true life with Christ begins. This song captures that longing and joyful expectation. It reminds us that no matter how long we’re in heaven, our praise will only be starting. Our gratitude for Jesus and His sacrifice will be a wellspring of endless worship. The lyrics echo scriptures that speak of heaven’s unending joy (Revelation 21:4) and the eternal praise offered to God (Revelation 4:8-11). It emphasizes the cross as the center of our eternal thanks. We will never stop being amazed by God’s love and grace.
