Mansions
There's a mansion up in heaven,
On a street that's paved with gold.
Jesus built it just for me,
Back in the days of old.
And when I get to heaven,
I'll be living there.
Life will be so peaceful,
I'll not have a care.
So if you get to heaven,
Come and visit me.
We shall take a walk around,
And here's what we may see.
Maybe we'll see Moses,
Sitting 'neath a tree.
Telling everybody,
How to part the sea.
Then we might see Aaron,
Talking 'bout that rod.
And how one night it budded,
When he gave it up to God.
I know that we'll see Joshua,
Enjoying his reward.
There's a sign on his front door,
"I shall serve the Lord".
What about old Abraham,
The father of us all.
We'll likely see him there,
I know he got the call.
I know that we'll see Gideon,
He'd do it all again.
If he got the word from God,
And just three hundred men.
I want to see old Sampson,
He'll probably be there.
But will he be bald headed,
Or will he have his hair.
We might just see Naomi,
And Deborah and Ruth.
There's lots of girls in heaven,
Because they served the truth.
I know that we'll see Hannah,
Enjoying her reward.
She's the gal who had a child,
And gave him to the Lord.
Her baby's name was Samuel,
He grew up for the Lord.
There are 2 books that bear his name,
He got his just reward.
Maybe we'll see Jonah,
Now, he's got quite a tale.
'Bout how he ran away one time,
And wound up in a whale.
I'd like to see king David,
His heart was with the Lord.
You know he killed Goliath,
He went to his reward.
We'd have to visit Daniel,
Who was thrown into the den.
But the lions never touched him,
His faith won out again.
Then there's Paul and Silas,
And Peter's up there too.
And all of those disciples,
Who brought God's word to you.
Those are not just fairy tales,
Those stories are all true.
It was God who made them happen,
To reveal himself to you.
I am really not so sure,
That you can understand.
Unless, of course, you know my King,
And what He's done for man.
Let me tell you of my King,
The King who died for me.
The King who came back from the grave,
The King who set me free.
He was brought forth from a virgin,
Lived blameless 'til He died.
And though He never once had sinned,
They all said He lied.
So they nailed Him to a cross,
For everyone to see.
My King knew that He must die,
So he could set me free.
But death was not His master,
And could not hold Him in a grave.
For Jesus Christ is Lord of all,
To death He is no slave.
He's no longer on that cross,
He sits upon His throne.
Telling God the Father,
He counts me with His own.
But if you do not know Him,
He's still upon that cross.
Waiting there to wash you clean,
Not count you with the lost.
If you do not know Him,
And know not how He died.
You don't know how He suffered,
For he was crucified.
A crown of thorns upon His head,
A spear wound in His side.
His hands and feet nailed to that cross,
That is how He died.
They placed a sign above His head,
Sarcasm brought the news.
It was a sign that simply said,
He was the King of Jews.
Oh, He suffered through the shame,
And all that misery.
Why would he take on such a task,
He took it on for me.
They placed His body in a tomb,
It's over now, they said.
But, Hallelujah, they were wrong,
He rose up from the dead.
Now there's an old time story,
It's one we know quite well.
'Bout how the Lord descended,
And stole the keys to hell.
My friends I have to tell you,
That story is a lie.
I say He didn't steal that key,
And here's my reason why.
I've never found a scripture,
That says He stole that key.
For if the Lord had stolen it,
He could not set us free.
As just as sure as Noah,
Survived that mighty flood.
Jesus didn't steal that key,
HE BOUGHT IT WITH HIS BLOOD.
Then he built my mansion,
In fact, He's built a few.
Mine's right beside another one,
The one He built for you.
Thank You Lord.
