I saw the light of heaven
As Jesus took my hand
And gently came and brought me
To heaven’s perfect land.

He led me ‘cross the Jordan,
Then through the pearly gates:
“Now welcome home, my daughter,
Come see what joy awaits!”

“Well done” is what He told me
And gave a radiant crown;
He’d seen my love and worship
And wrote my service down.

I’ve hardly looked around yet
For I’m with Jesus here
To worship and adore Him
With friends and loved ones dear.

No sin can taint the pleasure,
No pain can mar the bliss,
For all is good and holy
In such a home as this.

You won’t be far behind me:
Trust Jesus – He’s the way;
Prepare to come and join me
In heaven’s endless day.
