Just to dream again of the same old dream I had once before.
By: Audrey Barber
Staring into the empty night
What do I see in the darkness
Just the dark grey sky so far high
The moon begins to peep around
The stars suddenly begin to shine
My soul is longing to go to that better place I know
The moon it does play some tricks
Hiding behind large dark clouds
The stars fall away one by one
The grass is cool I lay myself down
I gaze above then shut my eyes
My soul is longing to go to that better place I know
I see pretty angels beckoning me
They take my hands and lead on
Through the clouds and over the moon
Beyond the stars far away
Towards pearly gates
Where Cherubims with golden harps play for me
Sweet melodies, never heard before
My soul is longing to go to that better place I know
Then there I see him seated
On a golden throne of light
All around are heavenly beings
Singing glory to the Lord
His face radiantly shining
Love and peace everlasting
I lose myself to him
My soul is longing to go to that better place I know
Majestically he is standing then beckons to me
With open arms he greets me
I am drawn to them instantly
That warm and forgiving embrace
Those beautiful smiling eyes
Are looking down at me
My soul is long to go to that better place I know
He tells me do not worry
I have reached my home at last
He takes me to the gardens
He tells me it is mine
He shows me the Rivers and valleys
All the lakes and dales
That magical sound I have never heard before
He tells me they are mine
The doves are flying above me
Sweet angles every where
With their harps they serenade me
The flowers bloom and will never fade
My soul is longing to go to that place I know
He speaks to me that voice is sweet
The birds stop their singing
I am not alone he tells me
I was always loved he assures me
He was waiting for me he tells me
My welcome home he was arranging
A surprise he has he tells me
All my sufferings was a trial
He just put me to the test
My soul is longing to go to that better place I know
Through all my trails and errors
A wonderful reward I have earned
In that home with him to dwell
I now have nothing to fear
I hold his hand and walk together
Hand in glove with my lord
What have I to fear
Nothing more will I now ever want
My soul is longing to go to that better place I know
My battles here are not over
He tells I have more to endure
He knows I am strong and eager
To do his command is my wish
He knows I can battle every trail
The will he says he'll give me
The courage he says he'll guide me
Take hold he said go on ahead
Do what he has planned for me
Those tasks he says I must complete
Before he takes me home
My soul is longing to go to that better place I know
The night breeze blows
It's chilly and so cold
The grass is damp it awakens me
The sky is dark no moon I see
Stars shine out far beyond
I am awake,
It was a dream a beautiful dream
I want to dream once again
So I close my eyes one more time
Let me see his face tonight
My soul is longing to go to that better place I know
Far beyond the stars, over and above the moon
My soul is longing to go to the Lord my God I know.

Journey to Heaven
