Wouldn’t it be grand,

Wouldn’t it be great

If we lived without sin,

I often contemplate

For how much better would life be

Without all the pain from sin

Where goodness always resides

From a place within

No animosity

No cruelty, no hate

Where love is always

Our constant state

Where we all acknowledge the truth

The truth that is Him

Where we always walk with God

Where our feet don’t touch sin

Where everything is perfect

Like the garden long ago

Where everything is beauty

From the love in which it did grow

Where hurt and pain

Does not exist

Just joy

And happiness

Loss is a word

One not known

For eternity is only

What is shown

Wouldn’t it be great

Wouldn’t it be grand

If we as humans

Could all understand

There is a place

Such as this

This needn’t be

A lofty wish

For though in this world

Sin, pain, hurt does abound

There is hope

To be heaven bound

For if a wonderful world

We hope to find

We must keep God

On our heart and mind

Someday this world

Will be made anew

Someday for me

Someday for you

We mustn’t waste time

We mustn’t hesitate

We must walk with God

Not procrastinate

Ask Jesus to come

Into our hearts

As we live for God

This is where it starts

As we walk with Him

Someday we will find

A wonderful life

With the old world behind

Won’t it be wonderful

Won’t it be great

Heaven our destination

And love our fate

Word made new

Revelation 21:1-5 NIV

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
