The Beautiful City
I enter the gates of that City,
and, Oh, such beauty I see!
Streets of gold that sparkle and glisten,
and prisms of color burst all around me.
I walk through the Gates of Heaven,
Angels waiting, surround me there.
Little children come rushing to greet me;
I'm speechless, as I stop to stare.
Never have I seen such beauty;
Never have I seen such joy.
All the cares,
the burdens of yesterday,
are gone.
And, so many wonders, I'd like to share.
I cross over the Bridge of the River Eternal,
flowing full, flowing free.
Choirs of angels all encompassing,
as I feel their love encircle me.
Such sweet promise, such reward,
for a human, such as I.
The Glory of God in the Highest,
waits beyond the celestial skies.

. . . they will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
Isaiah 35:10
Song: I'll Fly Away
