Nothing But Heaven

Nothing but Heaven
is my goal in this life
the air I breathe in
the work I do in public
my behavior in private life
how I get wealth
how I use earthly riches 
the clothes I wear
the relations I make
with fellowmen here
how I respond to enemies
point towards nothing else
but heaven where my Father
lives in glory
waiting for my return to me
in glory
