Heaven

I'm not really sure
what Heaven will be like
But I know it will be beautiful
Because Jesus is the light

The Bible tells us
That the streets are made with gold
And when we're in Heaven
We will never grow old

But Heaven isn't ready
For the Bible tells us so
For when it is done
Christ will return to take us home

The Bible tells us
The dead in Christ will rise
And those that are left
Will join them in the sky

But many will ask
What happens when we die
I can only say what
I believe in my mind

I believe when we die
And we leave our home here
We become guardian angels
Of those we love dear

We are there to guide them
On their pathway of life
And help them to make
Decisions that are right

I believe that
We are still being taught
Of the many things
That on earth we forgot

I believe there are levels,  
Maybe two, three or more
But you must pass the test
Before you can stand on their shores

And the greatest test
That you must pass
Is forgiveness of others
You met in your past

For the hardest thing
On earth to do
Is to truly forgive
The ones who hurt you

For Heaven is based
On the feelings of love
God so loved the world
That He gave us His Son

And when Heaven is done
And Christ does return
We'll see our Saviour sitting
There on the throne

There will be no more fears
And there won't be any tears
No more pain
Or feelings of despair

No more sickness
No more death
Just feelings of love
And complete happiness
