There
I sat thinking of life after death,
Wondering
just what lies in store;
Thinking
of heaven, and all my loved ones,
Longing
to meet them on that shore!
Lord, hasten that day,
Let me fly away,
Show
me Thy glory evermore.
Someday
I’ll meet Him, His glory I’ll share,
Leaving
behind trouble and pain,
He’ll
say to me then, “Well done… Enter in…”
And
then heaven’s crown I will gain!
Lord, hasten that day,
Let me fly away,
Thy
power my soul will sustain!
Over
in glory with Him I will dwell,
The
saved of all ages I’ll see;
Leaving
behind the things that here distract,
Forever
from them I’ll be free!
Lord, hasten that day,
Let me fly away,
Lord
swing wide the doors now for me!
