That Sounds Like Heaven to Me

Lord I thank You for this world of so much beauty
The glory of Your handiwork I see
The magnitude of what You have created
All the splendor, well, it still amazes me
But You’ve prepared another place for those who love You
A holy city on a hill so far away
And when I think about that land, I can’t get used to
Living here where I know I will not stay
With all the stories of Heaven I’ve been told
Every now and then Lord, I just wanna go (where)
A crystal river flows by streets of pure gold
Mansions bright and fair, none can compare
My eyes now long to see my loved ones waiting for me
Land of eternity, that sounds like Heaven to me
A place where hate and suffering won’t be found
Lamb and lion side by side, lay down
All the beauty that my eyes shall behold
I can’t imagine that the half has not been told
Where all the saints bow down and give up their crowns
Lay them at Your feet, sounds like Heaven to me
Around Your throne of grace, every tongue, every race
Will kneel in unity, that sounds like Heaven to me
A celebration rings, giving praise to the King
And all the angels sing, Holy Holy
Around Your golden throne, praises go on and on
You reign in majesty
That sounds like Heaven to me
