How’s Heaven
How’s Heaven?
I’ve never been
Since you’re there, I thought maybe you could tell me?
God said he’s making everything like new
He created this special place for special people like you
The Kingdom of Heaven
You didn’t get to pack your things or say goodbye to all of us like when you went off to college
So how’s Heaven?
I know your faith in Jesus gives you eternal life
You are magnificent angel with the glory of God
Just like Abraham, you might have to walk alone and leave everything behind
God has given you peace with your new home in Heaven
So how’s Heaven?
I called on the Lord all night and I wouldn’t let go
I feel like I prayed every prayer
I have to praise my way out of this one
Life is a fight and it doesn’t fight fair
Heaven is where we all should want to go there right?
So how’s Heaven?
What does it feel like to have wings now?
God has now received you to himself
You are an angel in the sky
Heaven seems like the place to go
There’s no pain or death in heaven
I want to go
(Revelation 21:2)
“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away”
So how’s Heaven??
I want to go….
