What Will Heaven Be Like PART III
The glory of the Lord all over your face
The glory of God is in this place
What will heaven be, what will it be like
Streets of gold, mansions foundation and city wall is adorned precious jewels
Foundation jewels jasper sapphire; chalcedony; emerald
Pure gold and diamond and onyx, carnelian, and bedellium
Ruby, sardonyx, sardius; and chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase
Jacinth, amethyst plus crystal rivers transparent walls of gold
This and many other beautiful visons told
I wanna walk on them streets gold
As I ponder, this I wonder... what will heaven be like

Take your glorious beauty,
your handsome
perfect body.
Take your precious stones:
Your sardius, topaz, and diamond,
your beryl, onyx, and jasper,
your sapphire, turquoise, and emerald full of gold.
Take it all!
Don’t be so vainglorious
as you kiss yourself
like a drooling whore.
God loves his son
who is
not you.
You hit me and I cannot believe it!
I even got to get confirmation
Slow steps to my destination
Understanding is coming to me
My eyes now open to truly see
So vivid, so real I actually fell
It lasted really only a little spell
But it has done something of a lifetime
The things I wanted to know
Thoughts recurring in my mind
Focusing only on your glow
Now I realize need to act in kind
You truly and fully run the show
Wow! how gloriously filling
Now I am reassured in you
You hit me and I couldn't remain standing
Hearing things going on around me
I just couldn't speak
Nothing but you now I seek
Stronger, gradually till finally
The ultimate beginning
Also like a dream, golden streets
Walls of jasper, sapphire, sardius
Others too, very precious stones
