| The Long Journey's Short |
|
Don't you know It's a very long journey, Way beyond the sky? Who, but Jesus would know One could go there, In the twinkling of an eye? We'll need no planes, no blimps. But, in a moment under His wing, We'll be there with our moms, Dads, and grandparents - All ready to sing. A lot of my loved ones Have made the journey, Oh grave, where is thy victory? Oh death, where is thy sting, When, in a twinkling of an eye, In Heaven we'll be - Rejoicing with Jesus And all the loved ones from here, Who's gone on before; Dancing and singing Psalms On the streets of gold, There, on that Holy shore? Children, worry not about your parents. If you can't see them, They're up there Just shouting to Glory And waiting on you, Maybe hearing your Prayer. But, they're on a long journey That has no end, Just waiting for you. So, when you think of them, Just think about, one day, When you'll be there, too. I can't believe death is so terrible. But, to have a new body, We have to rid the old. Then, we'll wait for our children And grandchildren To come join the fold. He said He'd receive us unto Himself And for us a mansion He made. I know not of what it's made. But, what He builds for us will never fade. There, none will ever suffer pain; No sorrow and no need to cry. So, if we want to be there forever, A ticket to Jesus we have to buy. The ticket's cost is marvelous. It's belief upon His Holy name, you see. He paid for our ticket, long ago, on an old cross. So, the fare for us is free. |
