journey to the heaven

I am going on a journey

              To a place I long to go
             A land that’s filled with angels
             Where the peaceful valleys flow.

             I have no need for luggage
             So I plan to travel light
             A first-class trip to heaven
             It’s a non-returning flight.
       
             There won’t be tears of sadness
             Sweet blessings I will reap
             A torch will burn eternal
             And the soul doth never sleep.

             I do not need an auto
             There is no bus or train
             My journey is predestined
             And I won’t be back again.

             No need for food or shelter
             Everything I need is there
             My home that lies in heaven
             Is a joy beyond compare.

             I am ready for my venture
             Got the voucher in my hand
             I’m bound for Zion glory
             In that far-off distant land.

             I am headed for that City
             My flight was paid for me
             To a land of peace and beauty
             Just beyond the crystal sea.

             I soon will have my ticket
             There is no need to pack
             On a one-way trip to heaven
             And I won’t be coming back.
