One glorious day, I will live in that city
With gates of pearl and mansions grand
Streams clear and sparkling like diamonds
Streets of gold in God's Promised Land
                                


I want to join in that Heavenly choir
Singing joyously of Heaven's jubilee
Live forever surrounded by its beauty
In that mansion Jesus prepared for me



Life on Earth can be stressful and weary
With our lives filled with sorrow and grief
One day soon, the suffering will be over
The promised rapture to bring sweet relief



The golden sun will forever be shining
There'll be no death and no tears will be shed
Gone will be pain and no hunger will be known
At a table where His chosen ones are fed



I want to be ready when my time is up
To go where many loved ones now wait
And rejoice in that happy reunion
In that eternity just beyond the gate
