“Heaven” by Henry Lee

Do you ever wonder what Heaven is like

Do you think about the pearly gates

See the streets of gold and purest light

Do you dream of seeing an old old friend

And dream of sharing a life that really did mend

A family lost long ago

That are now here and all a glow

Your mother, your father, your grandparents too

And learned that they are missing you

To find the peace you sought for so long

To hear Heaven’s most beautiful song

Know your time will come one day

To see this place so far away

And to know the love that does abound

On this Holiest of ground

But until the day your earthly life ends

Share God‘s word with enemy and friends

Tell the wondrous story of Jesus’ love

Of the many mansions built for us above

The solid rock on which you stand

Helped them move from the shifting sand

Point them to the happiness they all deserve

And show them the ways they might serve.
