On way to Heaven

With each passing day

Envisioning New Earth

Jesus leads our way

 

Righteousness proceeds

Praises filled with joy

All marching to Zion

Jesus leads convoy

 

Blessed harvest waits

Feast upon light’s grace

Leaving sin’s darkened street

Jesus takes our place

 

Chains of bondage break

Freedom’s bells now ring

Reaching heavenly peace

Jesus always King

 

On way to Heaven

Mercy’s opened door

Forgiving voice of love

Jesus evermore!

The things that matter the most in this world, they can never be held in our hand.

From Matthew 6:29-31:  “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Gloria Gaither (born 1942) is a Christian singer, songwriter, and speaker.  She performed with the Bill Gaither Trio from 1965 to 1991.

Every path that leads to heaven is trodden by willing feet.  No one is ever driven to paradise.

From Psalm 119:105:  “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

Howard Crosby (1826-1891) was an American pastor and academic professor.

Praising Lord high above

Singing favorite hymn

Overflowing with His peace

Returning love to Him

 

Revealing mercy’s grace

Descending from God’s rock

Filling earthly, mortal place

Shepherding wayward flock

 

Declaring His purpose

Severing chains of sin

Forgiving each indictment

Teaching what should have been

 

Praying for faith’s new hope

Calling upon Lord’s name

Grasping heaven’s righteous rope

Granting grace, without blame

 

Climbing final mountain

Leaving this worldly dome

Dwelling jointly, wolf with lamb

Summoning to God’s home

From Isaiah 11:6:  “The wolf shall live with the lamb; the leopard shall lie down with the kid; the calf and the lion will feed together, and a little child shall lead them.”

If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven; you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.

From Ephesians 2:18-20:  “For through Him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father.  So then, you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.”

Vance Havner (1901-1986) was an American pastor and Christian author.  During his many years of service to the Lord, he preached throughout America.

There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice.

From Colossians 1:16:  “For in Him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through Him and for Him.”

Glorious morning light

Blessings from Father’s heart

Angelic voices praise

Calling out faith’s fresh start

 

Tomb forever empty

Raising Messiah’s love

Hallelujah’s sing out

Praising heavens above

 

Risen Savior conquers

Draining river of sin

New covenant flowing

Uplifting quest begins

 

Divine plans now fulfilled

Spreading faith’s greatest news

Darkness vanquished at last

Breathing from mercy’s view

 

Bridge built to Heaven’s gate

Fulfilling gift of grace

Good Shepherd holds its key

Seeing at last, His face

From John 10:9:  “[Jesus speaking] I am the gate.  Whoever enters by Me will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.”

Heaven is something we inherit.  We are undeserving, therefore we do not earn heaven; it is a gift provided by the One who went before us.

From Psalm 145:13:  “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.  The Lord is faithful in all His words and gracious in all His deeds.”

When our top priority is to please God with our life, we can expect treasure in heaven.

From Luke 12:20-21:  “But God said to him, ‘You fool!  This very night your life is being demanded of you.  And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’  So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.”

Teach us to set our hopes on Heaven, to hold firmly to the promise of eternal life, so that we can withstand the struggles and storms of this world.

From Colossians 1:5-6:  The faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel that has come to you.  In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.”
