Yes, Heaven Is For Real
Yes, Heaven is for real, my friend!
The Bible makes that clear,
This life we live is not the end,
Despite each mournful tear...
The Lord has set the record straight
With Holy Spirit power,
So we may know our God is great
For every passing hour!
There is a crowd of witnesses
Alive on Earth today,
Who testify what bliss it is
When they are called away
To where God's angels praise His Name
And glorify God's Son
And holiness shines like a flame
In front of everyone...
The sights and sounds can melt our hearts
For Heaven far exceeds
Expressions of our earthly arts
And all our noblest deeds...
God's universe cannot compare
With glories shared above,
Where visitors are made aware
Forgiveness comes by love...
If not for love, God could not send
His only Son to die...
To die for me and you, my friend,
So that we might ask why...
Then learn as children do in time,
That God's Word tells the truth.
Yes, Heaven is for real, sublime...
Lord Jesus is our proof...
While visitors return with tales
To bless us now and then,
The Lord Himself removes the scales
Upon the eyes of men,
So that they see and understand
And live their lives anew...
If we could hold the Saviour's hand,
Let's pray we would change, too...
