A Building in Heaven
I’ve purchased a town lot in heaven
On the city not built with hand.
I’m sending material daily
To build in that happy land.
I’d like a mansion on Main Street,
Where streets are all paved with gold
With a clear view of the pearly gates
Where Christ takes care of the soul
I want to send good material
That will stand the test of times
So I’ll not be disappointed
When I reach that home sublime
Prayer is for the foundation,
Faith and love for the walls,
Good deeds for the reinforcement,
That will stand when the Savior calls.
Up there we will know no sorrow.
Tears will never dim the eyes.
There we will rest in peace forever
In that happy home on high
So my friends, start building
Your home beyond the sky
So we all be together
In the sweet by and by.
