HEAVEN
When I reach that beautiful city
And the saints around me cheer
‘Twas such a long time waiting
But we’re happy that you’re here
Come stroll with us around this place
On pavements made of Gold
And listen to our songs of praise
Of blessings yet untold
We sing the praises of our Lord
From morn to coming dusk
To tell each soul that reaches here
Your trust in Him was just
And as we talk and sing our songs
Our spirits rise within
Because we know that every day
Is now spent here with Him
Our lives of yore no longer need
Our problems and our strife
For now we live with God on high
Our everlasting life
I know that someday I will meet
Upon that faraway shore
My loved ones and my dearest friends
To live forever more
And when this happens I will be
Completely overjoyed
To once again be with my friends, my loved ones and
My Lord
~ G. M.
