There's A Land God Has Promised Those That Serve Him Poem by C R Clark

There’s a land, God has promised those that serve him
And I know, one day, that land will be my home
I’ll go there when my life on earth is finished
Lay my sorrows down and never more will roam
I’ll be present with the Saints of all the ages
And I’ll visit with my Savior every day
I’ll be at peace with everyone in Heaven
Oh, I’d love to be there, Lord, with you today

God has told me in his word about this Heaven
He said the streets are paved with purest gold
There’s riches there that cannot be imagined
And there’s perfect, peaceful, joy for every soul
It’s a place where sin and greed, no more, can tempt me
Where selfishness and lust cannot abide
I know that I do not deserve to go there
But, my Savior has already paid the price

I sometimes dream of following my Savior
Through the air, headed straight for Heaven’s Gate
There are multitudes of joyous people with me
We’ve just been rescued from a world that’s full of hate
We were caught up on the clouds to be with Jesus
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye
As we draw nearer to the land that God has promised
My excitement’s getting more than I can hide

There are angels standing round us everywhere, now
Singing glory, glory, glory to the Lord
All my life and all my sins are flashed before me
They are noted and forgiven one by one
As I’m standing in the presence of the Father
My mind is flooded with a peace I’ve never known
And suddenly I’m shouting with the angels
Singing glory, glory, glory to the Lord

As I said this is a dream I often think of
But, I know one day this dream will all come true
Because one day I gave my heart to Jesus
He forgave me and He cleansed me through and through
It was at this time He sealed a promise to me
He said I go now to prepare for you a place
And I will come again and take you with me
And you will live with me in glory for always

So my friends if you’ve not made your reservation
If you’ve not accepted Jesus for your own
If you don’t know the joy that God can give you
If you’re wandering in your sin all alone
Just give your heart to Christ and ask forgiveness
For all your sin, one time, he did atone
And He will give you life everlasting
Then you’ll look forward to the day he’ll take you home.

Yes, there’s a land God has promised those that serve him
And I know, one day that land will be my home
I’ll go there when my life on earth is finished
Lay my sorrows down and never more will roam
I’ll be present with the saints of all the ages
And I’ll visit with my Savior every day
I’ll be at peace with everyone in Heaven
Oh, I’d love to be there, Lord, with you today
