In My Father’s House
Are Many Mansions,
The Choir Sings all the Day
The Streets are made of Purest Gold,
With the Angels I Play!
My Neighbors are the Saints of God
What a Sight to Behold!
To James and John, I Listen
Of Their Walk with Christ on Earth Below!
The Walls are made of Jasper
The Table is Always Spread
I Adore My Brother
Thank Him for the Blood,
He Shed!
Let me Tell of My Father!
He is so Wonderful and so Grand!
He Sits me upon His Knee I try to Understand
Why would He Love me so?
He Sent His son to Die?
At a Place Called Calvary for A Sinner such as I?
He said, there was Fire Ahead!
That Hell would have been My Home!
If Jesus had not been the Sacrifice,
And Died on the Cross Alone!
I lay my Head upon His Chest Told Him that I loved Him so!
Thanked Him for Christ Blood That Saved This Wretched Soul!
HOLY! HOLY! HOLY! LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!
WHICH WAS, IS AND IS TO COME! Revelations 4:8 KJV
