Eternity is Where I AM by Jill Shannon
Joshua’s Song
Words and Music by Jill Shannon © 2019
Scriptures: 1Cor.10:1-12, Ex.3:5-6, Jos.5:13-15, Heb.11:8-10, Ps.110:2-3
Joshua, friend of Moses, the Lord prepared you for this day
Consecrate yourselves to go across the Jordan
For the Lord has put the fear of us in the camp of the idolatrous
He is riding forth ahead of you, and giving you this Land
In Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and saw a man
Arrayed for battle, resolute, a drawn sword in his hand
Are you for us or against us, are you fighting for our enemies
No, but as the Captain of the Lord of Hosts I come
Lord of Hosts, grant us faith, overshadow us with courage
In the fear of the unknown, in the raging fire
Captain of the Hosts above, we cannot prevail without You
Mighty One, Gird Your sword, upon Your thigh
Let Your zeal become our strength in the battle cry
Joshua fell face down on the ground, if I found favor in Your eyes
What would You want to speak to me
Take off the sandals from your feet, the place you stand is holy ground
The Lord is fighting for you
Abraham went out and set his foot upon this ground
He dwelt in tents, his sons would never build a home
He had a promise that his seed one day
Would take possession of his heritage
They looked ahead and saw the Land of God’s eternal plan
Who will rise in that day, in the Day of His power
Who will rule in the midst of Your enemies
Send the rod of Your strength, we will rule out of Zion
Faithful one, His angels come, to fight for us
Faithful one, His angels come, they will fight for us
Four hundred years they slaved away
Where they sold Joseph as a slave
Until the Lord sent His servant Moses
Take off the sandals from your feet, the place you stand is holy ground
I AM the burning fire before you
Tell Pharaoh let my people go, and I will bring them to this Land
There they will bow before Me
Moses led His people freed, across the wilderness
They grieved the Lord and failed the test of faithfulness
A generation lost their destiny, what can we do to guard our victory
Will our faith endure when the wilderness is all we know and see
The Lord is raising up a mighty army in this day
As Moses and Elijah they will preach His Word
As they demonstrate the power of God, the jealous love and fire of the Lord
They will ask this day, “Who will you choose to love and obey?”
I choose a people for Myself, the ones who lean into My heart
When testing comes, they will be faithful
I counsel you to watch and pray, and stand before Me on that Day
You will be counted worthy
There is a Future

Scriptures: Jer.29:11, Ps 40:7-8, Isa 60:1-2, Ps.85:10
I have called you to do my will, until the end you will be with Me
I keep you near to Me, My friend, you are dependent, you rely on Me
You do not hide your face from Me, you keep your heart open and free
It is I who hold you close at night, it is I who strengthens you in the fight
Can you just be with Me? Oh…
Let us go to the Mountain of the Lord
Let us learn of the plans He made for us
We have a holy destiny, a scroll to be fulfilled
Here am I, Oh Lord, I have come to do Your will
You are my treasure, You are my only one
I trust in You, Lord, even as You trust in me
You are Creator, You are my only love
You hold my destiny – You guard it tightly in Your heart
Days of endless glory, Shining star of morning light
Beginning of tomorrow, Your never ending gift of life
His glory will arise on you, when earth is covered with the night
The dwelling of My people will be filled with light
There is a future in our God, a holy plan living in His heart
Look not within, but look to Him, Intimate Maker, we choose the better part
My God, my life, my sustenance, Your radiance streaming from Your countenance
Creation sings, angels bowing low, Redemption’s theme soars above all other hopes
Do not trust in the plans and ways of man
Wait upon the Lord to reveal His perfect plan
In honor and obedience His path will be made clear
We’re crossing over Jordan without fear
You are our Father, You are Redeemer Son
The God of Abraham, the Holy One of Israel
You are Eternal the never-changing One
The Resurrection, alive with You forever more
Blessing, He will bless you, lovingly He’ll keep your heart
Shining, He will make His glory rise on you
Righteousness and peace have kissed
Mercy and His truth have met
Evermore your song will be His mercy
You hold my future, You know my past
Your thoughts toward me are always kind
You’ve saved me from so many trials
In nights and days, You’re always on my mind
There is a future in our God
Do not let Fear defeat your way
If we fear the Lord, He will rescue us
His salvation will arise, to help us in that Day
I Will Go
Words and Music: Jill Shannon ©2019
Scriptures: Jer.33:20, Isa.6:8, Jn.12:27-28
How rarely we thank You for Your covenant with the day
We barely consider Your faithfulness by night
The cycles of Your spheres across the universe
For the seasons of the stars, for the splendor of Your skies
Despite all this, You set Your heart upon the earth
Created in Your image, yet You knew we’d go astray
The serpent would deceive her, and Adam would betray
They hid their face from You and turned their heart away
With our nakedness exposed, we were hiding in our shame
And we lost our first authority, knowing we’re to blame
We now could not fulfill Your purpose for the earth
But in the Council of the Lord, a voice was heard
Who will go for Us, whom shall I send?
Who will break the curse that man has wrought on earth?
Who will run the race for God’s eternal plan?
To bring restoring grace unto the race of Man
Chorus:
And I said, “Here Am I, Hineni, I will go, My Father
I will leave the glory You have given Me
I will go lower, and touch the earth with love
Until the world requires of Me, My sacrifice of blood
And I will go lower than the stars I have made
I will go lower than the lofty clouds I gave
Lower than the storehouse of the snow
I will leave Your dwelling place, full of glory, love and praise
I will count the cost, for them, My Father, I will go
I will go in Adam’s place, I will stand where Adam fell
And for the souls of men, I’ll heed My Father’s cry
Who will go for Us, whom shall I send?
Who will break the curse that man has wrought on earth?
Who will run the race for God’s eternal plan?
To bring restoring grace unto the race of Man
When I come to walk upon the earth, I will gaze up to the stars
And I will remember why I must endure
For the souls of men so far outweigh their worth
You have given Me a bride, she’ll be taken from My side
And to ransom her I’ll taste the death and bear the scars
Live
Words and Music: Jill Shannon ©2019
Scriptures: Jer.29:11, Eze.16:4-8, Lu.10:30-37, Jn.10:10
You saved me for a reason, You kept me for a purpose
We are here and we remain by the kindness of Your heart
For I know the plans I have for you, to enlarge and bless and prosper you
I’m giving you a future and a hope
I watched you grow and nurtured you when your heart was torn and ravaged
For this world is lost and damaged, through the pain I carried you
When I saw your heart mature in love, I made a covenant in My own blood
I will take you as My own, My heart is true
For I have known you, and I formed you in the womb
When I saw you lying there, when no one else would care
When I saw you in your blood and knew that none would pity you
Then I spread My garment over you, I covered you with love, and I said, “Live!”
I predestined you for life, to be conformed
To the image of my Son, when you were born
And I said, “Live,” for a thousand years of restoration
Live, for the nurturing of generations, Live
For the purposes I knew, for the plans I made for you, before
You matured to be a bride for Me, a willing and obedient company
A people radiant in My image, born for such a time as this
They bring life and show My wonders, all the purposes I dreamed for them
They will rest under My shade, and know I live
For My Son has made a new and living way
You will stand before Me blameless in that Day
And I said, “Live,” for a thousand years of Kingdom living
Live, for His streams of mercy, always giving, Live
For the bride He calls His own, for the Lamb’s eternal throne, before
And I said, “Live,” for the promise of His great salvation
Live, for His priesthood birthed in every nation, Live
For the sacrifice He made, for eternal life He gave, before
On the Cross
Words and Music: Jill Shannon ©2019
Scriptures: Col.1:19-21, Heb.12:2, 9:11-12, Isa.49:16
There is a tree, planted by the river
There is a vine, rooted by Yeshua’s streams
There is a fountain, washing us in mercy
Flowing out from the Temple of the Lord
Oh, dry bones, why do you look so weary
Oh, dry bones, why do you hang your head
For your Husband, the Lord is your Creator
And He speaks life abundant from the dead
On the cross of condemnation, on the cross of perfect love
On the cross of restoration, I made a way for you to come
On the cross paid for salvation, the great exchange of blood for sin
On the cross, propitiation, You made a way to enter in
I look to You, Revealer of mysteries, I look to You, Preparer of our destinies
I look to you, Lord, Healer of our wounded heart
Oh my soul, look to Him and you will live
Leave your shame your pain, your blame behind you
Approach My throne with confidence in Me
On My cross of love, I carried these away from you
And through My blood I see you holy and clean
For My bride I paid her ransom, in My anguish she will find
Release from guilt and blessed acceptance, she was always on My mind
For My bride, I endured with patience, for My bride I scorned the shame
For her I bore humiliation, in My hands inscribed her name
Lord, You wanted me, when I felt unworthy
How could You endure such agony to rescue me?
You would have done this, if I had been the only one
For your own possession, You desired me
You saw me there, I was lying by the roadside
You wanted me, and chose me as Your own
Though there was nothing worthy I could offer You
You chose the Cross of shame above Your throne
Garden of the Lord
Words and Music: Jill Shannon ©2019
Heb.4:9, Matt.11:28-29, SOS4:12-5:1, Ja.1:6-8, Isa.4:2, Isa.35:1, Joel.2:22-23, Eph.5:30-32
When I rest with You, I soar above the troubles of my soul
When I lift my gaze, You restore and make me whole
When sorrow and anxiety defeat my strength and rob my peace
I will still my soul and lay my head on You
O My heart, open up to the garden of the Lord
Beloved, come in, to Your chamber
For the King delights in you, He is calling you by name
In the secret place He’ll find you there, He’ll give you rest
A heart divided cannot please, a double-minded man will not receive
My soul and spirit must agree on the counsel of Your heart
When I reach the end of every puzzle, anxious thought and painful struggle
In the end, it all comes back to trusting You
O the Branch of the Lord will be exalted in this hour
And the desert will bloom like the rose
Let the fig tree and the vine put forth their fruit together
When I saw you there, in the wilderness, I gave you rest
Being with You is the sweetest thing I know
I gain perspective, when I see things through Your eyes
My spirit rises up to the secret place
But my soul still wrestles with this life, for the strength to run my race
Every soul is song to Me, a kite in the windy sky
A high and soaring destiny, you are known before My eyes
As the rhythm of your ways I see, for each of you I dreamed a dream
I prepared your heart for something more than this
Bone of My bones, flesh of My flesh
Taken from My side, formed to be My bride
Bone of My bones, flesh of My flesh
Taken from My heart, she is now a part of Me
My heart has opened up its garden, I have welcomed You
My fruit is an orchard of Your promises fulfilled
Every soul is the garden of the Lord, He must enter in
Every heart is a tree of life to Him, He desires you
My heart has opened up its garden, we have welcomed You
My fruit is an orchard of Your promises, come true
He is everything to me, He is everything
He is everything you need, He is everything
In His Image
Words and Music: Jill Shannon ©2019
Scriptures: 1Pet.2: 9, 1Cor.15:20-26, 42-54, 2Cor.3:7-11, Isa.53:4-6, Gen.1:27
I want to be a priest to You, to cling to You in worship
I desire to be a friend to You, who tells You everything
I long to be a joy to You, a beloved one, who gladdens Your heart
Who gives You pleasure, let Your soul delight in me again
Would You trust me with Your thoughts and plans, Your hidden pearls of wisdom
Will You know I won’t betray You when the pressures grow too strong
Such a mystery that You trust in us, You’ve imbued us with the songs of Your heart
And You take pleasure when we sing them back to You again
From the Father’s throne, the worship of glory
From Heaven’s home, we are singing His praise
Yeshua shares His burdens and His story
Declare to the nations of His ways, our victorious King is coming to reign
Thank You for the Bread of Life that came down from Heaven
For cleansing in Your blood, for healing in Your wings
You took the curse upon Yourself, revealed the way to glory
A debt of love and gratitude we bring
Every wound and stripe would pay for us, to take our pain and sickness
You became the Captain of our faith, You brought many sons to glory
Adam was a living soul, but Yeshua is a life-giving Spirit
The second Adam, restoring us to the image of God
Not like men taken from the dust, the Seed of Yeshua
His offspring reborn in the image of God
As we were meant to be, from the beginning
He died for our glory, not His own
O worship the Lamb upon the Throne
As we behold Him, as in a mirror, gazing into His Holy Face
Ever changing from glory to glory, a new creation from Adam’s race
Make Your Glory Known
Words and Music: Jill Shannon ©2019
Scriptures: Jer.33:20, Matt.5:43-46, Ps.8:3-5, Isa.9:6, 40:3-5, Rom.8:18-23, Isa.42:14-16
Your covenant with night and day will not be broken
He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good
He sends His rain on the righteous and the cruel
And He shares His bread with the godly and the fool
Let us work now, while the grace of God continues, unbroken
For the night is far spent, we must prepare Him the way
He comes for those who aligned with His heart
They are looking for His Kingdom, they are set apart
Chorus
What is man that You are mindful of him
How can You bear so long with those who disrespect Your throne
What will it take to win devotion from their hearts
O let Your Kingdom come and make Your glory known
The currency of Heaven is devotion to Me
All that you have stored up in your heart
This has been reserved for you on that day
I will reward, I will restore, I will repay
The deceitful ones will be ashamed, their schemes will be confounded
The laws of nations overturned, the wicked rulers be astounded
Let His Kingdom be established in the earth
When the see the King, they will recognize His worth
Every broken place will be raised up, every mountain will crumble
Their riches cannot save them now, the hypocrites will stumble
I will hold back no longer, I will intervene
I will intercept and intercede and set you free
Chorus 2
The Son of David will return to Zion
The Kingdoms of this world will be the Kingdom of our Lord
All Creation groans until the Day when we can say
Of the increase of Your government, there’ll be no end
O let Your Kingdom come and make Your glory known
For too long I’ve kept silent, but no longer restrain
All that I have held back in My heart
Injustice cries out to Me from the earth
The Bride travails, the Lord prevails, His Kingdom birthed
The Kingdoms of this world will be the Kingdom of our Lord
And of His Messiah, He will reign in righteousness
And with justice for those who sowed in tears
For His priests and kings will reign with Him a thousand years

Jill’s Thanks:
After I had finished producing “Eternal Now,” in May, 2019, I didn’t expect any new songs, at least not till the end of the year. But my Father in Heaven had another surprise in store for me. Just a month after returning home from recording Eternal Now in the U.S., I was shocked to begin to receive new lyrics and poetry flowing into my heart and out into my journal, one summer morning, still in 2019. These quickly became this new collection of songs, that is now, “I Will Go.” I prepared the music for the remainder of 2019, expecting to record them in the spring of 2020, as has been my normal pattern. However, due to the COVID lockdowns in both my nations, the recording has been delayed till later this year.
Once again, I can scarcely believe all these words were given to me in such a few short days, and the music also came exceptionally fast. I thank the Lord in awe and gratitude, for entrusting me with these new and intense Kingdom messages.
My deepest thanks to Nancy DeWind, who has been preparing this work of art, even before I received my first revelations. She generously has come forward, yet again, to create the cover art for “I Will Go.”
To my family, close friends and intercessors, I thank you with all my heart, for believing in these offerings the Lord gives to me. And special thanks to my guest singer, my dear friend Slayder Betts: I am so thrilled that you joined me again, sharing your gifts and fellowship with me. We rejoice to bring this holy offering to the Lord. May this sweet-smelling aroma rise up before our Lord’s throne and bring Him joy and satisfaction, knowing that we the singers and all who will hear these songs – we all stand in agreement with His heart. Thank you for standing with me!
To all those precious ones who also stand with me in this ongoing work – whether we are close or distant, geographically – I could not do this work, year after year, and not succumb to the hardships, without your strong love, prayers, words of support and gifts of many types. You give me encouragement to continue. This is priceless, and I bless and humbly thank all of you.
To my Beloved Yeshua our Messiah: You are the flame of jealous love that lights my heart with revelation and fresh ways of expressing Your emotions and urgent desires. You paid the highest price and purchased us with LOVE. We will never run out of ways to thank you for Your sacrifice. We love You, Lord Yeshua!
