Many mornings I wake up wondering, is today going to be the day?

Heaven

I catch a glimpse in the skies
in a heart full of joyful song
the wonder in a child’s eyes
and in the mountains tall and strong

I feel it singing with the saints
in the arms of my family
and in those chills I can’t explain
when I look out over the sea

I ache for it when I am ill
and when my child is feeling pain
when my tears continue to spill
at the result of sin’s dark stain

We have a longing deep inside
on our heart’s it’s a written truth
to wipe away the tears we’ve cried
while creation groans for it’s youth

In heaven is where we belong
where God’s light will replace the sun
we’ll join the angel’s choir in song
when we hear our Lord say “Well done”

Forever we will gaze on His face
singing praises for His great worth
with our sins forever erased
on the New Heavens and New Earth
