I
HERE LATELY, YOU HERE SO MUCH ABOUT HEAVEN,
THEY TALK OF ALL BEAUTY TO BEHOLD.
I'M SURE, IT WILL BE WONDERFUL
TO WALK THE STREETS OF GOLD.
BUT WHAT'S WONDROUSLY RARE ABOUT THIS LAND SO FAIR,
IS WHAT WON'T BE THERE.
II
DOWN HERE, THERE'S SO MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT.
AND HEARTACHES, WE ARE FACED WITH EVERYDAY.
THE BIBLE SAYS, GOD SHALL WIPE THE TEARS ALL AWAY.
OH, THERE IS COMFORT I CAN FIND, IN HIS WORD DIVINE.
OH WHAT WON'T BE THERE.
CHORUS
THERE'LL BE NO PAIN, OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY.
THERE'LL BE NO NIGHT. AND THE GATES ARE NOT SHUT BY DAY.
THERE'LL BE NO DEATH AND NO SORROW AND WE WON'T HAVE A CARE.
OH, IMAGINE IF YOU CAN, ABOUT LIVING IN THIS LAND.
AND WHAT WON'T BE THERE.
