What for
What do we seek for, a world of gloom?
Maybe somewhere there's a place, a mansion or a room,
Wide enough to take us in, a very lovely place,
A Kingdom ruled by righteousness, kindness and grace.
A world inside a world
Where no harm can come.
A place that is sanctified
By who we have become.
Don't be fooled
All His promises are true,
Given out personally
From Him to you.
