A guy down the street who knows Spanish He’s homeless and needs something to eat, a sandwich A drink of milk or juice Something to fill him up I can’t wait to see the promised land Where pain and sorrow never enter in Where God’s light of love is always and forever A part of the very air we’ll breath up there Living all together, in heaven’s glory A woman lost her home in bad weather She came to me and we prayed She spent the night in the shelter With children around her knee Where will she go? Only God knows! I can’t wait to see the promised land Where pain and sorrow never enter in Where God’s light of love is always and forever A part of the very air we’ll breath up there Living all together, in heaven’s glory A friend’s son died today, and I shudder, No one knows when or why he went so far But his body was found by a brother Who couldn’t have know the trouble That would make him take his own life? I can’t wait to see the promised land Where pain and sorrow never enter in Where God’s light of love is always and forever A part of the very air we’ll breath up there Living all together, in heaven’s glory Someday, we’ll see the promised land Live forever in the light of love up there Glory to God in the highest He is the love that I’m trying Glory, glory, glory to God, my true friend
