And talk to a loved one up there;
I'm sure they would tell of the beauty,
That surrounds them in that land so fair.
Perhaps they would talk of the river,
That flows through that lovely land;
I'm sure they would bid me to join them,
And stroll once again hand in hand.
Every thing here is eternal,
Each view is a wonderful sight;
The sun here is always shining,
In this land there is no night.
There's splendor in all directions,
Every where your eyes will see;
Peace and contentment forever,
You'll never long elsewhere to be.
If I could telephone Heaven,
And talk to a loved one today;
"I don't want to go back there",
I believe I would hear them say.
"For Jesus is all that I need here,
Every need has been supplied;
The cares of this earth seemed as nothing,
When He wiped all those tears from my eyes."
Every thing here is eternal,
Each view is a wonderful sight;
The sun here is always shining,
In this land there is no night.
There's splendor in all directions,
Every where your eyes will see;
Peace and contentment forever,
You'll never long elsewhere to be.
Peace and contentment forever,
You'll never long elsewhere to be
