Lyrics
In Heaven
Verse 1
Turned on the TV today, they had a lot to say bout, war and terrorists and people dying, I started cryin, thinkin bout. A place where nobody dies, God wipes the Tears from our eyes,and peace and love, are all that is spoken, yeah, yeah.
Chorus
In heaven, God will be waiting. With His arms open wide, and we shall be free. In heaven, Jesus will be there. And all those who've gone before, we'll finally see. In His presence, we'll forever be, in Heaven.
Verse 2
See all their faces, tears runnin down their cheeks, there's. No clean water, and not enough food to eat and, unborn children, ripped from their mother's womb. Where is the love, is there not enough room.
Chorus
Bridge
Each of these children will feel love they've never known. They'll eat at their Father's table, His house is now their home.
