Lyrics

I’ve heard that all the streets are gold
There are pretty sights to see 
I’ve heard about great riches untold 
Awaiting me in glory
And yes I’d love to see these things 
But most importantly
I long to see the One who died for me

CHORUS
I long to see Jesus, Jesus
The one who gives me strength and courage
To keep pressing on
Jesus, the One who loved me 
When I did not deserve to be loved 
Jesus means the most to me

Wars and strife on every hand 
Disasters everywhere
People living in misery
Men’s hearts fail for fear
And yet in this confusion
I have a settled peace
Because Jesus said He’s coming back
He’s coming back for me
And every day I’m longing
Just to look upon the face
Of the One who gave His life for me 
And saved me by His grace.

Now every day I’m walking
With the consciousness of mind 
That any day I’ll be caught away 
In the twinkling of an eye
I can feel my Saviour
He is coming so close 
Administering and entrance
Into a parallel universe
He’s decrypting the secrets
To immortality
Lifting me up from this earthly realm 
Into the realm of the heavenly

CHORUS
Soon I will see Jesus....
