I Want To Go To Heaven

HymnPoem★★★★

I want to go to heaven and pick a never fading flower; From the mountain overlooking the temple of my God. I want to go to heaven where all this light and glory. How I long to be with Jesus! How I long to be with God.

Chorus Sometimes I think I can stay here no longer. I feel very lonely here for I have seen a better land. Oh that I had wings like a dove, Then would I fly away and be at rest.

I want to go to heaven; I want to hear the voice of Jesus, “You have washed your robe in My blood, Stood stiffly for My truth.” And I want to get to heaven and cast my crown at Jesus’ feet. I want to praise His name forever! He has done so much for me!

Chorus Sometimes I think I can stay here no longer. I feel very lonely here for I have seen a better land. Oh, that I had wings like a dove, Then would I fly away and be at rest.
