I've Got Heaven On My Mind!

Lately I've been thinking more and more,
Of my eternal home on that faraway shore.
Heaven is the place I want to see!
Jesus, my Lord has gone to prepare,
A mansion for me over there!
And soon He'll be coming back for me!
There's so much pain and heartache here,
In this old world of doubt and fear.
It sure makes me have a greater desire to go,
Where there is no more night,
And the Lamb of God is the light!
"Tis a land were living waters flow!
When I bid parting loved ones farewell,
In my eyes the tears begin to swell,
And a homesickness fills my heart.
Ah, but when this fleeting life is o'er,
I'll surely meet them once more,
And never ever have to part!
Time seems to be running out.
So Friend, I have no doubt,
That soon I'll be making my heavenly flight!
The desire to leave continues to grow.
I'm all packed and ready to go!
For my departure could be this very night!
