VISION OF HEAVEN
Had a vision of heaven, what these eyes did see,
As I viewed way up yonder in that sweet eternity.
I thought I entered that city and I stopped at the gate,
so anxious to enter, I cound hardly wait.
As I neared that city, Jesus stood at the door,
said "My child, enter in, you are safe forever more".
Want to walk all around to see who I could see,
For I have so many loved ones who came ahead of me.
Walked on a little farther, who is that I did see?
Why, that's the little old lady who many times befriended me,
Help me in my sickness and in trouble a helping hand,
Why that's her there singing,
In the blessed angel band.
Walked on a little farther, who is that I did see?
Why, that's my Dad and Momma,
Who were just ahead of me.
I wonder will they know me, they have been gone so long,
With a smile they remembered, said,
"My child you're welcome home".
Walked on a little farther, who is that I did see?
Why, that's the old beggar who sat upon the street.
But he looks so different sitting there around God's throne,
I can still hear him singing while the ages roll on.
Oh yes, over yonder, is a face I remember still,
It's the old fashioned preacher from the church upon the hill.
With his Bible I still see him standing there so many times,
Telling us about this Heaven that someday I could call mine.
But I keep on walking, so many faces more,
so many more faces that I am searching for.
But I won't have to hurry, I'll take all the time I need,
for I am here forever, through all eternity
