There's A Place

There's a place
far beyond this river
far beyond this earthly shore.

That is where I'm going to be
with my Father Heavenly,
I am never going to die anymore.

I will walk down streets of gold,
pass the tree of life and gates of pearl
that will never close;

And, there I'll see King Jesus Christ
in all His glory and His light
with His saints whose numbers are untold.
Constance V. Walden
