Heaven

Michael E. Mathis

When the Lord shall crack the sky
I'm going to my home on high, Heaven
To a city called Heaven
I'm going there
(repeat)

Where the streets are paved with gold
And the half has never been told
Verse1:
See the Lord doesn't want
Any man to perish
He's so kind
Take advantage of your time
Well it won't be long
We'll be going home, over to Heaven
Choir: To a city called Heaven
I'm going there

Repeat Chorus

Verse2:
John said he saw a new Heaven
And he saw a brand new earth
Prepared all God's children
So prepare to meet the Lord
Nothing but the pure in heart
Shall see God, over in Heaven
To a city called Heaven
I'm going there

Repeat Chorus

Vamp:
I'm going there (8x)
Love over there
Joy over there
(4x)
I'm going there (8x)
To a city called Heaven,
I'm going there
