I long for a place I have yet to be

As our Savior says; “come, follow me”

Where the burdens that I have carried for so long

Becomes weightless and free, as I’m where I belong

Where pain, sickness, grief has no place

A joy filled peace, given from grace

I am longing to hear the sound of his voice

As with the angels we sing songs of rejoice

I know not when to this place I will arrive

Though with God by my side, here, I will try to survive

This place I long for, gives peace to my mind

As I await, I look for the sign

Only one way, to reach that place above

Is to ask for forgiveness, from whom died with love

This place has a name, as I long to be

At home with our Savior who died for you and me

With God our Father, Heaven, my destination

As my weight is lifted, from His salvation

I long for God, to see Him face to face

My hope, my peace, my saving grace

Loved beyond measure, we are truly gifted

So when that time comes and burdens are lifted

Will your burden be lifted too

Were you a believer, whose heart made anew

For there is a God, with Him we can someday be

Answer His call, when he says; “come, follow me”

A relationship with Him, as I truly believe

He is what my heart, mind, soul does need

I long for Heaven, where with Him my soul finds rest

With His eternal peace, we have been truly blessed

My hope, in Him is truly found

Through His grace, I am Heaven bound

Come, follow Him

2 Timothy 4:8 NKJV

Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
