Don't you know it's a very long journey, way beyond the sky?
Who, bur Jesus would know one could go there, in the twinkling of an eye?
We'll need no planes, no blimps, but in a moment under His wing,
We'll be there with our moms, dads and grandparents, all ready to sing.

A lot of my loved ones have made the journey, oh grave, where is thy victory?
Oh death, where is thy sting, when in a twinkling of an eye in Heaven we'll be?
Rejoicing with Jesus and all the loved ones from here, who's gone on before,
Dancing and singing Psalms, on the streets of gold, there on that Holy shore.

Children, worry not about your parents, if you can't see them, they're up there,
Just shouting to Glory and waiting on you, maybe hearing your Prayer,
But they're on a long journey, that has no end, just waiting for you,
So when you think of them, just think about one day, when you'll be there to.

I can't believe death is so terrible, but to have a new body, we have to rid the old,
Then we'll wait for our children and grandchildren, to come join the fold,
He said He's receive us unto Himself and for us a mansion He made,
I know not of what it's made, but what He builds for us will never fade.

There, none will ever suffer pain, no sorrow and no need to cry,
So if we want to be there forever, a ticket to Jesus we have to buy,
The tickets cost is marvelous, it's belief upon His Holy name you see,
He paid for our ticket long ago, on an old cross, so the fare for us is free.
