Our Future Residence

We have little in this world,
But we have a heavenly home.
And thoughts of our future residence
Satisfy, bringing shalom.

A place of peace and safety,
Where the gates aren't closed at night;
For there we'll have no enemies,
With which we will have to fight.

A crystal sea for calmness,
Streets of gold – such is our wealth.
There are fountains of living waters,
And a tree of life for our health.

Mansions for our dwelling place;
God's presence will be our light,
And never again the bitter tears,
That obscure and dim our sight.

A reunion with our loved ones,
Those who have experienced grace;
We will worship our Lord forever,
While always beholding His face.
