God’s planning a reunion
In heaven’s courts above
Where all His many children
Will gather in His love.
We’ll meet our older brothers
And sisters from the past,
And swap the happy stories
Of getting there at last.
With laughter and rejoicing,
Our songs will fill the air
When all of us together
Assemble over there.
…
I almost see the welcome
That’s waiting just for you
Beyond the gates of heaven
When you have stepped right through:
The glowing light of heaven –
God’s presence all around,
The sweetest songs all filling
The air with joyful sound,
The pure and lovely fragrance
Of home sweet home at last,
The wide-awake, glad feeling
Of life when pain is past,
…
I’ll stand before God’s holy throne
And meet my Judge someday;
I have no fear because in Christ
I know just what He’ll say.
He’ll give a stone of purest white
Which He has promised me;
It shows the verdict – innocent –
And serves as heaven’s key.
And in that stone a precious name,
For I will be His own;
The Lord will claim me on that day
I stand before His throne.
…
I knew God through the time I spent
In Scripture and in prayer,
I heard Him in the still small voice
That showed His tender care.
I saw Him in His mighty works
And little blessings too,
The things He sent to show His love
And prove His Word was true.
But now I see Him with my eyes
And truly hear His voice,
I know Him as He knew me then –
It makes my heart rejoice!
