HEAVEN'S MINE
by Rhonda Jackson Aug 5, 01

HEAVEN CALLS UNTO MY SOUL
FROM THERE BEYOND THE SKIES
MY LORD'S ABODE, THE HOLY CITY
GOD'S GARDEN, PARADISE.
I CANNOT FEEL AT HOME, YOU SEE
UPON THIS PLANET EARTH
I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THERE'S MORE FOR ME
SINCE THE MOMENT OF MY BIRTH.
I TRY TO DO THE BEST I CAN
TO MAKE THIS LIFE WORTH LIVING
BUT AT LIFE'S END REAL LIFE BEGINS
MY PROMISE OF GOD'S GIVING
HEAVEN CALLS UNTO MY HEART
A HEART THAT EARTH HAS BROKEN
SO MANY LIES HAVE MADE ME CRY
LIES THAT SATAN'S SPOKEN.
AND LIFE IS HARD AND LIFE IS COLD
THIS WORLD IS MEAN AND MAD
BUT HEAVEN WAITS TO MAKE ME FORGET
THE TRIALS I HAVE HAD.
THIS LIFE IS TEMPORARY
A MOMENT IN ETERNAL TIME
I CANNOT DWELL ON THIS WORLD'S GIFTS
NOR CARE......FOR HEAVEN'S MINE.
END
