At last I reach my final home

The gates swing open wide

I get a glimpse of glory

I can’t wait to get inside.

An angel beckons to me

I hurry up to him

He opens up a golden book

And lets me look within.

I see my name is written

On the page that he turns to

He says you finally made it

I’ve been waiting here for you.

He points in one direction

And tells me “go that way”

So I start my tour of heaven

The place I get to stay.

I see the many mansions

And walk the streets of gold

And hear the angels praising God

Just like I had been told.

And then I spot my loved ones

They’ve been here many years

We hug and kiss each other

All smiles, there are no tears.

I look around for Jesus

I know He’ll soon appear

I want to kneel and praise Him

He’s the reason I am here.

He took upon Himself my sins

He paid the price for me

And by His victory over death

He finally set me free.

Free from all my worldly sins

And the evil Satan sent

Jesus came into my heart

Because I did repent.

I’ll finally get to thank Him

When I bow before His throne

For all the times He carried me

When I couldn’t walk alone.

I’ll dwell with Him in heaven

With no sorrow, tears or pain

This was His promise to me

When to the earth He came.

There are many mansions up here

There’s room for all of you

So to join us all in heaven

I’ll tell you what to do.

Accept Jesus as your Savior

He will wash your sins away

He’s waiting here to greet you

When you join us here one day.
