I know your hearts are heavy and you miss having me there, but I'm with God in heaven where no one has a care

I just shook hands with Moses, I met Job and Daniel too.  Now I am enjoying a body that's brand new

It really was amazing when I walkted through the gate I saw the beauty of this place and I could hardly wait

To come into the presence of the Father and the Son; hearing him say to me the priceless words "Well Done"

Jesus took me by the hand and said I'm so glad you came, your place is reserved in heaven's choir

Sing praises to my name

You should see my mansion it's a sight to see.  Jesus had it custom built especially for me

I'm having the best time up here no one is sad and blue.  We're looking forward to the day when Christ will usher you

Into this very special place where God is on His throne and we will have the honor to worship him alone.
