Set Your Hope Toward Heaven

My future hope shines brightly for the city I must find Many years have come and gone, on suffering I dined But I always looked out further far beyond the stars Beyond this earthen shroud and all that darkness mars Everything is moving fast, but the speed we cannot see There is something special that God has made for me Built in matchless splendor a city speeds our way A home that’s everlasting where always it is day Hidden by ten billion stars, its coming is from old Established in the heavens, the story has been told My home that’s fashioned from the light magnificent and sure Can you see that hope that’s shining eternal and so pure? The power of an endless life sings softly to us all Set your hope toward heaven; can you hear the call?
