Have You Ever..
Heaven's Song
By: Phil Wickham
You wrote a letter and You signed your name
I read every word of it page by page
You said that You'd be coming, coming for me soon
Oh my God I'll be ready for You
I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song
I hear Your voice and I catch my breath
'Well done my child, enter in and rest'
Tears of joy roll down my cheek
It's beautiful beyond my wildest dreams
I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing...
I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing
No, I cant wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song
Have you ever..
Have you ever truly thought about what it would be like to stand at the gates of heaven before the Almighty God. The one who created man out of dust, the one who made each star that shines above us every night, the one knows every thought, hears every prayer, and sees every heart longing for love.
Whenever I listen to this song, I seem to get emotional and I think about how incredible it will be to finally hear those words from my God, letting me know that I may enter through the gates of heaven and spend ETERNITY with him and those who trusted and believed the words of the Bible. Could you imagine how you would feel? What you would be thinking? Who you would see once you entered in?
Psalm 45:16 "They are led in with glad and joyous acclaim; they enter the palace of the king."
We were made to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. He left his place in heaven, to willingly sacrifice his life to save us all from the dark pits of hell and bring us home to a place of perfection that no one could have ever imagined. On the third day after his death, he defeated all the evils of this world and rose up from the grave. Because of this act of compassion and obediance to his father, we now have a choice and when we choose God, we choose an everlasting life of love and joy. This Sunday represents the day he resurected, it is a day of happiness and exaltation. Our Savior has risen and he gave us all a promise, that he would return one day and reclaim this earth, and he will come on clouds with countless angel. He will fight the darkness and bring light on earth and show satan who is truly the powerful and holy one.
So, are you ready.. Are you ready for the return of the Savior? Remember what Christ has done for you thousands of years ago, remember his promise.
-Phillipians 3:20- But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
