Heavenly Occupation
HEAVENLY OCCUPATION
What I'll see and do in heaven will soon I know unfold,
As I'm going home shortly and walk those streets of gold.
``````````
I never learned to swim while living in this world,
I would like to join the dolphins and view that underworld.
``````````
I would like to go through forests and never have to fear
The many wild animals-- those birds with me will cheer.
``````````
The grass will never whither, the flowers will never die,
And the friendships that we gather will never make us shy.
``````````
Our love for man and beast will be a two-way street,
As we pass and hug them our companionship is sweet.
``````````
We can't imagine now what all God plans for us,
When we visit other worlds and see how they've been blessed.
``````````
Oh, friend, don't miss out on heaven for the faulty thrills of earth.
Let's be changed into His likeness, truly know that second birth.
``````````
Best of all we'll meet our Savior, Our Father who loves us all
Will greet us in the throne room as on our knees we bow.
``````````
Forever we will gather and know His love and peace,
With our heavenly occupation, our joy will never cease.
``````````
