Heaven (As I See It)
Behind the lines of grace
A mighty river flows
Down the shores of heaven’s street
Pathways paved with gold
A place so many doubt exists
But I know this to be true
For in a dream one fateful night
The colors showed brightly through
Many questions left unanswered
Asked each night in prayer
The mind cannot comprehend
This place beyond compare
One night down on my knees
The question simply asked
To show me a picture of this place called Heaven
Where there is everlasting life
Nothing what I had pictured
Could prepare for this place
I saw the souls of loved ones
Passed on so full of grace
No wings were present on no man
No halos lined with gold
Just happy souls praising God
No dancing around a throne
People of every likeness
Sang a welcoming song to those
Entering the pathway to heaven’s gates
Where their soul would hurt no more
But the one face that I did not see
Was the face of the God I served
His presents though was all around
Each person did behold
I awoke that morning at peace with life
For the place that God had shown
Many questions now were answered
About life and love and home
In the end amazed you will be
At the place that God’s prepared
Believe it or not Heaven is a place
Look around you’re already there
