"The Lamb Of God" Oft times I think of Heaven And all the joy it holds To me it does not matter If every street is gold Though the walls be made of jasper Pearl may be the gates It is where my Savior dwelleth That’s why it’s hard to wait When I am nearing old Jordan’s waters With it soaring swelling tide I will see a city younder And see the gates swing open wide There’ll be no fear or sadness In that lad beyond the sky ‘Twill be perfect peace and gladness As I reach sweet paradise The death angel will lead me To the edge of Jordan’s span I’ll look up and see my Jesus Reaching for my hand I wont have to cross Jordan All afraid and all alone Jesus will stay beside me To see that I safely make it home My fears and worries will leave me When on Heaven’s land I trod I see the face of My Sweet Savior I’ll behold the Lamb of God I can just hear him say welcome The joys of Heaven now is thine Your tears have already been wiped away Only peace here you will find I will gently bow at the feet Of God’s Dearly beloved Son I will tell Him I’d like to thank Him For the many things He’s done I believe He’ll smile and tell me ‘That my heartaches are truly gone To live in Christ and die in Christ Assures to all a Heavenly Home Oh the Beauties of Sweet Heaven More than man’s mind could contain He will show me around the city In a place without my pain I’ll spend a thousand years exploring All the mansions and beautiful flowers I’ll see my loved ones that’s gone on We’ll sit rejoicing for hours I think when I look upon the Savior The story has not yet been told Oh what glory awaits us When the Lamb of God we behold He gave His sweet life to save us That we might abundantly live What a more precious sacrifice Could anyone possibly give We will live in this eternal home While down Heaven’s street we will trod But more precious than gold I can tell you When we behold the lamb of God ~*©Raylene Boggs*~2002
