Heavenward
Heavenward! by Gary Laws
I believe, above, there is a land,
Far from the toils of life.
A place where love and peace does reign,
No tears, no quarrels, no strife!
A place that has been set aside,
for saints and sinners too.
Who've had their sins forgiven by,
The One whose life is true.
It is eternal, lasting, real,
Where Christ has built our home.
In mansions fair, we will abide,
No more to wildly roam.
Tis' heaven, this place that Christ does live,
and we shall live with Him.
For all eternity we'll sing,
Our praises to our King!
This all is very real, you know,
Were it not so He'd tell.
His promises are true, for you,
for me in Heav'n we'll dwell.
What Glory waits, what light doth shine,
upon the holy hill,
where God doth sit, His arms outstretched,
for this, His blood did spill!
