**What I値l Leave Behind**



I feel a longing in my heart
A yearning I can稚 explain
An unknown place I知 seeking
Away from this world of pain



A place where there痴 peace and love
A land of perfection I値l find
Oh, such a contrast in that place
And the one I値l leave behind



I want sit by a peaceful stream
Just rest my weary soul
Where Jesus Christ is the light
And a story not yet been told



They say the walls are jasper
The most elegant you can find
What a sweet and precious sound
Compared to what I leave behind



The world I live in is filled with woe
Wars and crime constantly prevail
腺ut all that would be left behind
When toward this other land I sail



All the pain we must endure
Is constant in my mind
Sin, shame and the devils deeds
Is what I値l leave behind



Look inside my heart I ask Thee Lord
To see just what I feel
You see my soul needs to be set free
And to Your command, I値l yield



I知 packed up and I知 ready now
You may call me any time
I知 looking forward to that day
And to all I値l leave behind
