Text:This is what heaven means to me

12. This is what heaven means to me

1 A country where no twilight shadows deepen,
Unending day where night will never be,
A city where the storm clouds never gather,
O, this is just what heaven means to me.

Refrain:
What will it be when we get over yonder
And join the throng upon the glassy sea
To meet our loved ones and crown Christ forever,
O, this is just what heaven means to me.

2 A place where there is no misunderstanding,
And from all enmity and strife we're free
No unkind words to wound the heart are spoken,
Now, this is just what heaven means to me. [Refrain]

3 And when at last we see the face of Jesus
Before whose image other loves all flee;
And when they crown him Lord of all,
I'll be there, for this is just what Heaven means to me. [Refrain]
