From 1 John 1:5:Â “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness at all.”
On way to Heaven
With each passing day
Envisioning New Earth
Jesus leads our way
Â
Righteousness proceeds
Praises filled with joy
All marching to Zion
Jesus leads convoy
Â
Blessed harvest waits
Feast upon light’s grace
Leaving sin’s darkened street
Jesus takes our place
Â
Chains of bondage break
Freedom’s bells now ring
Reaching heavenly peace
Jesus always King
Â
On way to Heaven
Mercy’s opened door
Forgiving voice of love
Jesus evermore!

I had not heard that hymn before. Passed it along to our music director at church. The timing of this was perfect for me. One of my favorite residents at our local nursing home went “On Way to Heaven” – Marching to Zion on Saturday (Valentine’s Day … a good day to enter eternal love!) She was ready!!
