When I get to heaven Will the sea still be green Will the sand taste salty Can you hear a seagull beat his wing Can the waves still dance, while the tide makes a foam I might miss the ocean When my soul goes home. When I get to heaven Will the garden still perfume Will the lilies greet me in their velvet white bloom Will blossoms go to sleep at night and open for the day I might miss the flowers when my soul goes home to stay They tell me that it's lovely there That gates are made of pearl And all the streets are paved in gold And jasper walls surround the world I understand that shadows flee And everywhere is light But what about the moon and stars and dreams I dream at night When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be When we all see Jesus I never thought I loved the earth Until I held Your hand I felt You take my heart and then You made me understand That God is love and touching Him Is also touching Man So dance in the grass Let the Word become flesh And wash the world in song And thank the God of Heaven and Earth Until my soul goes home
