Heaven - Poem
When the race is won
And the work is done
When the Church is one
And there is endless fun
We will each get our crown
And lay it at Your feet for Your renoun
We will shout in victory
For it is finished
The fruit of Your grace will never be diminished
We will serve one another and You forever
For You alone are our Pleasure and Treasure
We will walk on the streets of gold
And gaze upon the beauty of the City of Old
We will drink from the water of life
We will see Your face continually and be filled with delight
And on our lips we will ever sing of Your power and might
Heaven.
That is where we are going
And though now we see only in part
Soon we will be all knowing
We will shout, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!”
For surely His cross was not in vain
His pain has become our eternal gain
He will wipe away every tear from our eyes
And He will put an end to the reign of the father of lies
For with sin we no longer have any ties
Heaven.
That is where we are going
So as the lights in the midst of the darkness
We must keep on glowing
For to this we were called
To let our light shine before others
That we may be one as sisters and brothers
Heaven.
That is where we are going
So with this in mind,
His love we must always keep showing.
Heaven.
That is where we are going
