The Days of Heaven

Sitting by the shore one day I listen as the Angels play On golden Harps and sing of Jubilee. Basking in God's Perfect Light Eternally, what pure delight Sitting by the shore of the Crystal Sea. Standing on the bank one day Beneath the Tree of Life I'll stay Enjoy the shade and watch the water's flight. Peaceful breezes stir the air As Angels hover here and there Beneath the Tree, beside the River of Life. Standing by the Gate one day Greeting those who've been away Earth and Heaven ours to freely roam. Friends and loved ones all around Strangers here cannot be found God's bright Heaven our eternal Home. One day I'll spend with family Friends and loved ones happily Gathered in the mansion built for me Laugh and love and share the day None need ever go away It’s better here than I dreamed it could be. One day we'll gather one and all Assembled in the Banquet Hall To celebrate the marriage of the Lamb. Wayward sinners, we His bride Will dwell forever by the side Of the Son and Groom, the Great I Am. One day I'll kneel in awe and love And bow before His Throne above Honoring my Lord, my God, my King. I can’t breathe I’m so undone He bids me rise and calls me son And says He Loves me more than anything! Standing by the shore one day A thousand years have gone their way Everyday as fresh and new as spring Here the wonders never cease Neither Love, nor Joy, nor Peace Forever praise to Jesus, Lord and King!
