The Shore that's Feared by Death

My home is not of brick and stone 
Nor has it laid foundations on 
The filthy soil of earth, no mine 
Is somewhere far beyond the sky.
  
It sits upon the clouds of white 
And floats amidst the open skies.  
Its walls of gem and gates of gold 
Do hide a throne, I will behold!
  
Its shores are feared by death and sin 
And rarely few do e’er get in 
But still amidst those few ones rare, 
I long to enter, be the heir
 
To peace and love, instead of fame, 
Or coins of gold to be my aim.  
I’d rather have my King alone 
Than have a love, sham, of my own.
  
Oh yes, my home is feared by sin, 
And feared by death, and all within 
Shall reign with Him forevermore, 
I hope to meet you at that shore!
