Long Lost Heaven
Shimmering grass, a river that flows
Through fields of green, valley below
Mountain and sky have such appeal
It's hard to believe that it all was real
While here on my street it's a different world
People get hurt and the news is not good
I close my eyes and remember Eden
I named every creature, there was nothing I lacked
And I don't know if I'll ever get back
To the long lost heaven
Made for me
Long lost heaven
Oh, where could it be
A greater love I've never known
Than God did this for me
Vacant chair glistening gold
A few steps away a wrinkled robe
And leading out a crown dropped by the hand
Of the One who left to fulfill His plan
The long lost heaven
That He left for me
Long lost heaven
Oh, how could it be
A greater love I've never known
Than God did this for me
We proved our independence alright
We willingly left the garden
Even so Jesus willingly left heaven for us
So today just look at this world
A terrible injustice has been done
Or maybe a terrible justice
Where, where did it go
Oh, where did it go
Long lost heaven
That I'm longing to see
God's Great Heaven
You know it's waiting, waiting for me, yeah
A greater gift was never known
And He gave it willingly
What once was lost now is found
And it's there for you and me
A place that God made for us
We'll be with Him
For all eternity
