There are so many beautiful places to go.
I could go to Fiji and watch the sunsets.
I could go to Iowa and blend in with the wonderful people.
I could wear a smile in Delaware.
I could dance in France.
But I'd rather be...in God's new world.
It will have no crime or sickness.
No one will grow old and die.
God will dry every damp eye.
I could go to Cali.
I could pretend my name is Sally,
and check out the San Fran Valley.
I could ski in Alaska,
or I could hula in Hawaii.
But there's no greater place to be
than in...God's new world.
It will have no crime or sickness.
No one will grow old and die.
God will dry every damp eye.
So you could take me anywhere,
but I wouldn't care.
There's only one place I'd rather be...
and that's in God's new world living eternally.

This is a beautiful world, but honestly my dream place is God's new world. (Psalms 37:29)

Wonderful
Its very thought provoking write, when I see around most are in sorrow for major or minor reasons, its only God's new world where there'll be no ego, pain, death- all these bewilder me too!
Wonderful write :-)
