Towards Heaven

 Heaven, how I long for you!
 This world is fading and untrue
 Sometimes I don't know what to do
 But reach my hands towards Heaven.

 Heaven, how I need your touch
 This world has damaged me so much
 It's full of evil, sin and such
 But I reach my hands towards Heaven.

 Heaven, fill my soul with light
 Let me see in darkest night
 And though I stumble I hold on tight
 And reach ever out towards Heaven.

 Heaven, abode of all that's fair
 My Father's kingdom, awaiting there
 My Savior's arms outstretched and where
 He beckons me towards Heaven.

 And nearer now does Heaven come
 And dearer now seems that sweet home
 The destination in sight though the journey's been
long
 I'll be flying soon toward Heaven.
