Heaven Is On My Mind

Heaven was on my mind, with such joy was this glory to find Knowing that hell was real, shattered the reality of my appeal For I thought I was fine, until the light of the gospel did shine And my works were of no worth, For I needed the new birth I was taught such damning lies, all of which the truth defies My bad outweighed my good, and before God, in sin I stood Helpless and hopeless in sin, Jesus said I must be born again He came as our Saviour you see, To save both you and me So, then I turned to God you know, asking him to save my soul With all of my heart I cried, repenting of sin and not one to hide I open my heart to receive, His great salvation to all who believe By grace through faith set free, I'm his child now, for all eternity Now heaven is on my mind, This new glory I come to find His mercy became so real, when I come to make my appeal Forgiven and made anew, all because of what God did do My new home now is my find; Heaven is always on my mind
