Album: In His Hands (2005)

Verse 1:
Have you ever wondered what heaven will be like?
Have you dreamed about what lies beyond the stars that fill the night?
I have heard about the mansions, and the streets all paved with gold
But I would give that all away just to stand before your throne

Chorus:
I just want to see your holy face
And to be held close in your embrace
Just to hear you say well done my child
Just to know my life has made you smile

Verse 2:
It’s not enough to barely make it through the pearly gates
Or to call upon your name just before it is too late
When I come into your presence and you look into my eyes
I want to know that I have answered the call upon my life

Bridge:
When I reach the day of judgment, I don’t want to hang my head
at the thought of gifts I wasted or things I should have said.
So let heaven now remind me that this world is not my home
That I might strive to be a child you’d be proud to call your own
