I'm going up to Heaven, someday,
When God's angels whisk me away.
There I will see the One who died for me,
Long ago on a hill called Calvary.
Once in my loving Father's embrace,
All of my pain He'll forever erase.
My tears will be wiped away,
As He tells me I will be okay.
In His arms, mourning will cease,
Joy will return, bringing perfect peace.
Worshipping around God's holy throne,
His brilliant glory clearly shown.
Joyfully singing my very own love song,
To the One my heart will forever belong.
In Heaven, sin no longer resides in me,
From its power, I'll finally be free.
No more my broken mind playing tricks on me,
From mental anguish, I'll be completely free.
My broken body rid of all disease,
Able to move about with complete ease.
No more witnessing death's cold kiss,
Nor having dear loved ones to deeply miss.
No more my Enemy having his way,
Leaving many churches in disarray.
In Heaven, broken relationships are restored,
Because God's love has become the common chord.
A place where I will never again be homeless,
Nor experience this world's coldness.
Creation will no longer be under sin's curse,
As I enjoy its beauty while I traverse.
Where I will forever and freely roam,
Refreshed by the crystal sea's foam.
There experiencing Heaven's peace,
As I stroll down its golden streets.
Now whenever I'm feeling sad or lonely,
And unable to sense God's presence closely,
I lean on a promise that will never sway:
That I'm going up to Heaven, someday.
By,
Jeff Dalton
