| The Mansion In Heaven |
| The world, however beautiful, was never meant to be |
| The place that we would call home for all eternity. |
| And though we would not choose to leave, |
| A loving God knows best, |
| And in His time He lifts us to a place of peace and rest |
| For He has built a mansion where His children will abide, |
| Free from pain and sorrow, forever at His side. |
| He said He'd never leave us to face our trials alone, |
| And though sometimes we fail Him, He never fails His own. |
| And even when our choices are less than He would ask, |
| He knows when human courage is unegual to the task. |
| We cannot judge what happens, though tears and questions start... |
| We only see what's visible-- God sees what's in our heart... |
| And though there may be many things that we cannot explain, |
| We can be sure it breaks His heart to see His children's pain. |
| In loving arms He bears us to a quiet place apart |
| Where He mends the wounded spirit and heals the broken heart. |
| And although these ones we love so much have left our present sight |
| And passed into a better world of majesty and light, |
| Someday we'll be together in our Father's home above, |
| Where we'll thank Him for His mercy and praise Him for His love. |
