From the distance I can hear The glorious drumbeats roll Far far away In the eternal home of my soul
I can feel the air It is warm as in the spring I hear the golden bells As in praise to Christ they ring
I can smell the scents Of flowers of honeysuckle on the vine And of the pine trees standing tall Aromas so divine
I can taste the sweetness Of water clean and pure In a land that knows no night Of this I am sure
I can see the beauty Of mountains rising high Piercing through the snow white clouds Up into the azure sky
Looking into the horizon I see the things which I seek My saviour, love and joy And heavens eternal peace
In the distance I also see Loved ones that I have known With JESUS our precious Saviour In their far away eternal home
These things to me are real And I cannot wait For these things I see Through my eyes of faith

I was thinking of heaven today and what it must be like there and how I can't wait to see it.These thoughts came to me so I wrote them down in a poem.I know that heaven is far beyond anything I can attempt to imagine or describe, but the things I love I can't help but think will be there pure and untarnished by sin. The thought causes me to think how beautiful heaven must be, and with each passing day I long for heaven more than the day before. Thank you Lord Jesus.
