I Want To Go To Heaven

Oh, Heaven must be beautiful,

Someday I'm going home.

I closed my eyes to picture it

And stepped up onto God's big throne.

I took one look into His face

And how His eyes did glisten.

Glorious music floated past my ears

As I did carefully listen.

The angel choir sang

"Praises, praises to the Lamb of God:

You dear one, have been

Redeemed by your Savior's blood."

I turned to glance down

The River of Life,

Jesus was coming

With those in purest white

They were all the

Redeemed forever more,

And the gates were closed

On the eternal shore.

I suddenly recalled

My loved ones on earth,

And choices they made

For the second birth.

Oh, ye of little faith,

Are ye outside the gate?

You didn't want my Jesus,

Now, it is too late!
