Longing For Heaven

I’m longing for Heaven,

Jesus, this world isn’t for me.

Sure, there is happiness in the midst,

but it’s hard to have joy in the pits.

I long to see Your face,

To stand right next to You.

Where You and I are one,

And can spend eternity in the sun.

Im longing for Heaven,

Down here I don’t know where to go.

I’m in need of direction,

And peace that overflows.

I can’t wait to see streets of gold,

And walk with angels in the streets.

Yes, I will do all those things,

Once we finally meet.

I understand that right now,

I must stay on the earth.

Despite all the wars,

Lack of trust, and hurt.

I have a longing for Heaven,

God, I know you are near.

I know I do not have to fear,

The rest of my years.

Give me strength to carry on,

When I can no longer go.

I need to know,

Your grace will overflow. 

I love you Jesus,

I am waiting for You.

I wish I had some clue,

Of when you would make all things new.
