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
