Close to the Throne
"Be strong and courageous"
My dad always taught me
Pray and be faithful
God will see you through
The prayers that my mama prayed
Always touched Heaven
So now, it's my turn, Lord
I'm asking You
And I'm asking You
Make sure my father's
House is a mansion
And Mama has flowers
In a garden all her own
They deserve the finest things
Heaven has to offer
So, make sure their mansion
Sits close to the throne
"Be strong and courageous"
I tell my children
I pray they'll always
Be faithful and true
In the mirror of reflection
I pray they'll see
A mother and father
Like You gave to me
And I'll pray they'll pray
Make sure my father's
House is a mansion
And Mama has flowers
In a garden all her own
They deserve the finest things
Heaven has to offer
So, make sure their mansion
Sits close to the throne
They deserve the finest things
Heaven has to offer
So, make sure their mansion
Sits close to the throne
