I long in my heart for heavenly places

for the beauty of an unseen world in store,

To gaze on my LORD and Redeemer

and being in His presence evermore.

My heart is filled with praise

to my King enthroned on high,

I’m looking forward to that day

when I meet Him the moment I die.

While waiting for that precious day

I seek Him with all my heart,

Just loving to be in His presence

knowing we’ll never be apart.

What a friend we have in Jesus

no other could ever take His place,

O the love He shows toward us

O the compassion on His face.

To our God who is all glorious

To whom all praise is due,

O for that wonderful day

         when we will be home with you.

2 Corinthians 5:1  For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved,we have a building of God,an house not made with hands,eternal in the heavens.
